Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 

Hello from Alaska, I picked up this 56 original 1/2 ton Napco 4X4 a few months ago. I'm getting ready to take it down to the frame and upgrade a few things and get it painted. Picking a color is driving me crazy. What's the etiquette for copying another dudes color? CAL58's prowler orange is awesome. And Im thinking about a green similar to 1sik52's. Its going to be tough. I will keep you all posted once I get started. (just had back surgery yesterday so it will be awhile) This is my first post and I want to thank you all for the inspiration and great information you so freely pass on in a positive fun manner.

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 

Ok, you twisted my arm.

here are 4 of my previous AD trucks.
53 Black flamed GMC
48 Chevy red oxide
54 Chevy blue weathered paint
53 Bare Steel suburban

And I think I owned more, but have no pics;)

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 

Details on your build? Looks awsome, what frame is that?

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 

Welcome. That truck appears to be in extraordinary shape for being in Alaska. I was in Anchorage a couple of years ago and seemed like every vehicle more that 3-4 years old that was used during the winter was visibly rusting out. As to copying colors I have no problem with it, Cal and 1sik52 probably got their inspiriation from cars or trucks they saw, I can think back to the 60's & 70's when the red-orange and green metalics were popular (look a the factory colors). It is your truck do what you wish with it.

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 

Thanks for the welcome OrrieG, Rust is a huge issue up here. I lucked out when I stumbled across this one. I have been following your build thread and It looks like you are doing a great job. I actually have a few questions for you but I dont want to mess up this thead so I will ask them on your build thread. Thanks again
