I know you have no intention of selling it but life happens and if something were to happen won't it be super hard to get someone to pay top dollar for a light green truck?
Just sayin, don't shoot the messenger.

Being an original color I don't think so at all. If it was a lime green 08 silverado then I'd agree with your comment 100% I think it has its place and an era it was popular in.

I think the green would be sharp, especially with the white and the trim.

scott have you seen the new issue of C/10 Builders Guide Magazine ? nice green one on cover you may like. i dig it

[Orangetonicclicc]

I really like the concept of the green from the Kia. I think a white top would make it pop. But you do it how you want! I used a factory paint scheme for my truck off a Nissan. I just added 3 coats of clear coat! Every one loves it!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Either or on the tubs. Just make sure it was at least primered to cover bare medal. Some would say put them on and paint for less risk of scratching when assembled. Honestly it's almost impossible to not scratch your paint in final assembly. Once mine is complete, that's my first stop! Back to my painter for touch up work! I recommend complete mock fitting my wood bed, lining and drilling all holes before paint.

Just read your entire build doth read and I'm blown away. I love everything about this truck! Really dig your build plans and the above quote is my favorite from the entire thread. I'm on board for this.

P.S. I'm going to stick with an in-cab tank and radio delete in my 71.

This truck needs a chrome front bumper something serious.

[67ctener]

So I got the call! Truck went to paint today. Awhile back we agreed it'd be done first of the year so I hope he sticks to his word. If there is one thing a lot of us can agree on is painters are flakey. Here's us dropping it off in my friends F$#!. It's actually pretty dang nice 24x14 billets and 38s

[67ctener]

Thanks Robbie, glad you like it so far hope it doesn't disappoint when it's done. I agree I'm not a fan of painted bumpers the chrome ones just look too damn good

[67ctener]

And here she is in her new home. I'll update with progress pics as often and the progress is happening. The painter who is painting my truck is pretty well know high end painted. He's really big into semis and has been in magazines for his paint work. Also has done a lot of work for the picket brothers, the ones from the cmt show "trick my truck". Sure doesn't look so hot with the loaner rollers

[Bennett68C10]

Congrats on sending her off to paint Scott, can't wait to see it how it turns out. Did you nail down a color combo yet.

[Low68]

Sweet build! These trucks look great with stock appearance and lowered with custom rims. It will be cool to see this come out of the paint booth!

[darkhorse970]

Thats a big milestone to put it in the paint shop, will be bigger when it's done!

DUDE!!!! That truck looks real familiar!!!.... LOL

[67ctener]

Thanks, I wish I could say that I did. It's to the point I'm trying to get something to work with the interior colors I like. My two favorite interior colors are red and saddle and there's not a ton of exterior colors that go with it. I better do some serious thinking fast

[67ctener]

Yeah dan I'd say our trucks have the same look haha

[GAc10boy]

can't wait to see some paint!

[slowcpe]

Cool to see the truck going to paint even if you can't decide on a color

I think the two-tone with the light green will look great. The above truck is gorgeous.

I'm a fan of painted bumpers but not with any type of shiny trim.

[mcbassin]

Killer build you have going! I love the wheels and big block I'm glad I found your thread before you actually started driving this bad boy.
I love to watch a build come together. You have done a great job on everything.

I'm not a fan of Saddle but I do love a red interior. I like it so much that I decided to sell all my black interior pieces and switch to red. I figured if the truck is going to be Red then the interior should be too there are plenty of colors that go with a red interior, black and red being the obvious ones but white, silver, gray and I've even seen blue with a red interior and it looked really good. I really like the gray/white combo on the craftsman C10 the roadster shop built.

If you do a saddle interior then you can add greens and blues to the combo of colors along with the ones above. Isn't it fun trying to pick a color I'm still stuck on whether to do a white grill or not.

Very nice build. Your truck looks awesome, this will be sweet when done.
Red interior will be very sexy and different with that green and white plus with the exterior red emblems and brakes.
Great job.

[jlsanborn]

Red!

[coopdog]

Very nice build man

[67ctener]

Thankyou, I'll have a few small updates when I get home and on wifi

[sboris]

Awesome job so far, following along.
