It's as close to the original Grapefruit (525) as they could match and it is very good match!
Everyone that has seen it loves it!! I'm very excited!

Longhorn321 · 09-23-2008, 11:23 PM

I think I see my all time favorite color combo, that's what I think.

MT1972cheyenne · 09-23-2008, 11:26 PM

I love the color!!

71tahoe · 09-24-2008, 05:09 AM

**special-K** · 09-24-2008, 06:53 AM

killer71 · 09-24-2008, 07:59 AM

ahh...that's gonna be Sweet!!!

71BB_LWB · 09-24-2008, 08:40 AM

Thanks guys! I looked for all the grapefruit trucks I could find to help make my mind up. (I have all your pictures saved) I'm not a big yellow fan but there is something about the Grapefruit that really looks nice and it's the original color for my truck.

I dropped the bed off for the painter to start on last night when I picked up the cab. I hope to have it running so I can drive over and pick up the bed.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-24-2008, 09:45 AM

Very nice, I know you're feeling great with that progress!

nbroady · 09-24-2008, 10:23 AM

looks GOOD, and like the color A LOT!

rodstored-72 · 09-24-2008, 11:42 AM

Don't think I will be driving it but I should be able to at least show up this time. I guess I will have to check the southwest board...

nuke1 · 09-24-2008, 12:34 PM

Gonna look sharp

Bishops Trucks · 09-24-2008, 12:48 PM

I love that color combo. Nice work, that should serve as inspiration to all of us working on one of these trucks.

72BlckButy · 09-24-2008, 03:04 PM

Wow.... that thing looks good!

Now if only the rest of the pieces were ready....

thirdstreettito · 09-24-2008, 08:49 PM

Cool! But why does no one paint the whire all the way around the cab? Firewall, rear, etc.

*chevy29267truck* · 09-24-2008, 09:10 PM
