What color is this? That is really close to the color I've been looking for to do mine, and I'll be ready for paint in about 1 week so I've been looking pretty hard.

heavychevy79 · 01-15-2009, 12:57 AM

I can't get these out of my head.
I think my 73 may get painted this color. I think this is factory Spring Green
and Frost white, but the first one looks more lime green.
SWEET.

Jvsapp · 01-15-2009, 01:50 AM

that is a nice color, i like the 2 tone, but not the white roof. not sure why chevy did that. even my friends truck i don't care for the cream roof. his was orange and cream. i like the long bed with the big chrome wheels. it's almost like the 2000 VW cyber green i was gonna paint my nova with. i chose white because it was gonna be my first paint job and i wanted to learn.

Slammed '87 · 01-16-2009, 12:19 AM

Mine. It's an '87 GMC Wrangler. It's the third one i have owned, same color and everything. This one is the nicest tho, hence me keeping it :-) It is a full load truck in almost mint shape. A new 350 chipped engine was in place when i bought it. I have since installed:
a new tranny
TBI spacer
Dual exhaust (Edelbrock shorty headers soon to come)
Lowered it alot (rear bagged now, soon to be fully w/ FBSS)
rear sport bumper
tailgate insert (soon to be blazer style w/ handle flip)
SS wheel well trims
old school clear corner and tail lights
Billet phantom grille
Rims and tires, Summer 17's winter 15's (they change often)
Custom rear window curtains (by my mom lol)
Alarm/Remote start
Panasonic CDP was in when i bought it but i added an MTX amp and
two 10" subs
Mini grant steering wheel
...Many other little bolt on's
As of right now it's a long, mean, loud, head turner, and only gonna
get badder (as money allows ofcourse)

Anyway, it was suggested to me that i add my LWB to this thread so here it is. I added a lil info as some of you like to know what was done. Some of the pic's i provide, look alot different (mainly heights and wheels). If anyone has questions please feel free to PM me rather than cluter up this thread. Thanks.

I'm trying to find the 1974 Lime green (M) paint code for my Jimmy the paint code sites don't have it, but the 74 sales brochure shows it. It really doesn't look like lime but I like the color. Can anyone help?

travo77 · 08-24-2009, 01:56 AM

first pis is what it looked like when i bought her and the last two are what she looks like now

Chlsnk · 08-24-2009, 07:36 PM

Heres the 81 3/4 ton plow truck . This truck amazes me its so rusted but we are planning on rebuilding it after I finish my shortbed. It has been a plow truck since it left the show room floor .

babyJay · 02-15-2009, 07:15 PM

Here's a couple of my step-son's 79 we were playing in today.....I just sold him my 38 inch swampers, and they have only been on there for one day.

And my 87 V30, that had to pull his home after it broke.....

And the two cousins together.....

tractor1963 · 02-15-2009, 08:45 PM

My 1978 long bed C20 I just got three days ago, shot these the day I got it before I cleaned it all up. Looks much better now other than the 2000lbs of trash in the bed!

But it hauls the weight around well because of this:

hessian18 · 08-14-2009, 05:37 PM

Here is a picture of my 81 I took recently in my front yard..

And a picture of the 81 bumper with the 87 grill...

Got Squares ??

Soon I will paint the bezels/grill and replace my hood and fender ( have the parts just no time to swap them LOL )

That looks pretty sharp there hessian18. I like the way that bumper looks with that grille. I have thought about replacing my parking lights with driving lights. If you decide to do that, let me know how it works out.

My 82 lwb

Libertad · 09-27-2009, 04:44 AM

Yesterday I traded a $300 bass guitar and $400 amp for this 75 C10 LB. Looking forward to sharing with you all as this project develops. Motor (350) and tranny (350 turbo) have a tight fresh rebuild. This will be my transportation when I don't feel like riding my motorcycle.

I need a wiper motor and driver side window before the rain comes to town.

Pyro · 11-26-2009, 01:42 PM

Kinda late, I know, but here's my project 86 Sierra.

I'm putting a 6.0L with 4l80E, Dana 60, etc. Right now the paint is in not too great of shape. The body is straight and no rust anywhere. Painting it Cyber Grey Metallic, same color that you can get on new Vettes and Camaros. Interior is black.
