I've heard the same and often.


50K going into that truck? That cannot be restored original right? I'll have 30-34K into mine, 12K of that is for body/paint, and nearly 2k in trim. Granted, I have a nice template, and I don't have to dive into engine, transmission or the rear end............. 2-tone ochre/white was the original on my truck. I'm either running with 4-tone ochre/white, or 2-tone dark blue/white with moldings. That in itself takes up too much time in me brain.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
