At this time, I was able to put a lot of the truck back together which is the fun part. Front bumper pads installed, front grill assembly, hood hinges, door mirrors and tail lights.

Special note: this paint color is not very photogenic! In bright sun or if the flash goes off, it makes the paint in the pictures look kind of pink. In reality, everything is a deep orange color like the fender shot above. Oh yeah, about that paint color…

I’m quite convinced that GM was color blind in ’69. They call this paint color red and the interior red as well. In my opinion, this is a darker shade of hugger orange and the interior is maroon! (Unless it’s my eyes that have gone bad and not GM)


So this catches up to about where I am today. I have installed many smaller parts and I am working on the upright, boom and winch. Once those are painted, it’s just a matter of reassembling the rest. The end is very close now…
