Nice truck
Hit that sheetmetal with the CLR treatment and a scotchbrite pad and it will be amazing!

I also see some of the rare 15x7 6-lug rally wheels on the front.
(maybe all 4)
Make sure you start a build thread!

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!

I started a build thread, check it out when you have time. My Mator Build. Wife told me it looked like Mator from cars when I brought it home. Got to love her. I wish I would of got the advice and did a little more info finding before I started tearing into it. It would have been cool with that finish left on there.

Man that was some cool patina on your truck.
A lot of people would have left it that way.
Good luck with your build.

Not mine! Buddy's 55 with a weathered look. He is going to paint my 71. Two tone blue/white then wet sand it down to a reddish brown base coat. Then we are going to put the old faded trim back on.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!

Here's my current project I'm trying to complete to get it up on ebay. 67 CST big window, swapped in five lug running gear and a drop kit. Just got the ridlers on this week, hope to give it a CLR bath when we thaw out.

You had to notch the frame after adding the 2"s right?

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!

Very cool looking trucks in this thread! Here's my '68. I wish it whoever used to own it hadn't primed the spots on it.

Call me crazy, but I actually want this truck to be the dull faded blue that it is now instead of being shiny. I recently saw a restored '66 that was the same 507 light blue as my truck, and I like the color dull better than I like it when it's shiny.

Oh yeah. Notch is necessary past 6". Still running the 44 year old stock shocks and you would not believe the ride. I'm serious, my buddy rode in it yesterday and swears it rides better than his Nissan Titan lol.

Love that truck! Looks great lowered a bit more the rear. Are you running relocators with stock shocks?

Might end up having to wait on shocks for a bit but looking to go ahead and drop mine.
