LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68
I acquired a faded green 71 longbed with a 250 six from a local farmer. I wanted a beater truck for running parts and the price was right ($250) so I took it off his hands. Well, things have changed and now my plans are to build a baby blue 68 clone with a front dropmember, weld in 4 link, bags, 20" Coys, stock 250 six, Vintage air, and buddy buckets.
Joseph (member name jdurant) from EastsideDesignLab.com worked up some sick renderings of my vision. He has done work for other members and is a class act! I highly recommend him! I'm generally not a fan of chrome and like the "poverty look" of white bumpers so I'm leaning toward #3 but still undecided, what do you think? 1. http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...ld/render1.jpg 2. http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...ld/render2.jpg 3. http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...ld/render3.jpg Here's the 71.. http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...d/DSC_0749.jpg http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...d/DSC_0750.jpg A 72 parts truck I got for the SWB frame and bed. http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...d/HPIM0020.jpg I plan on putting the 71 cab on the 72 frame and running a 68 clip. I just want a cruiser so the 250 with a 350 turbo will be used. Won't be much progress until I finish a couple of honey do's and bagging my 05 burb (see signature) but I had to start the build thread after getting the renderings from Joseph :smoke: |
Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68
Cool build...will be following along!
I am into smooth myself but appreciate factory moldings. That being said....I actually like #2 also. It's different in a good kind of way. 3 would be my 2nd choice. Either way it's going to be cool :chevy: |
Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68
One more build to keep up with.....:lol:.

I've contemplated running white bumpers on mine, but didn't think it would look right with the trim on the side. You could prove me wrong!
Needless to say, I think your rendering looks perfect! |
Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68

looking at all these build threads is going to cause me to roll up my sleeves and begin the next project..... |

Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68

Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68
#3 looks great - I kinda wonder how she would look with body matching "baby blue" bumpers! I think it would really make the white in the grill POP! Either way - it will look "CHOICE" (Cool 80's word that I thought came to mind for your build :lol::lol::lol:)!

Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68

Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68

Subscribed for one heck of a build... :D
As for me, I like the look of #2 and #3, with #3 ranked first. The poverty bumpers really pull the truck together. I'm just not a fan of the blue grill area on #1, but to each their own. Best of luck on the decision and can't wait for some progress. |
Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68
I'll take a #3! This is my favorite year and color combo!:metal:

Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68
Have you started on this or still finishing the burb?

Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68
Just found this build...I know it's not a poll, but I'm digging #3 as well. Love the white grille and bumpers. My question is: Is your frame donor a real BB SWB Cheyenne?

Re: LooseCannon's Bagged Baby Blue 68
Any updates on this?? Any of the three renderings would be cool...
