523 Silver original paint trucks

I'm looking for pictures of original paint 523 silver / silver poly trucks. Seems to be a rare color for these trucks, especially in '69, but I was hoping the folks here had some in their picture files. Post 'em up if you got 'em!

Thanks!

Mine is silver. I will have to look if it's 523 or not.

Here’s a few I found on my phone. The silver and white ‘68 I photographed at the Coker show earlier this year and the stepper is a board members truck that has been completely rebuilt.

Re: 523 Silver original paint trucks

I'm Planning to keep the patina on the exterior and repaint the interior of the cab and under the hood. Might put some white on the roof again but not all and fake patina it in. Pull panels off and paint frame, 5 lug swap, and lower it.
