Everyone I've known personally less the guy painting it & his wife have said "Nooooooo!, not Ochre". Been that way 30 years. Those left who have seen what's here change their tune on the positive side Either way it's subtle & suits, IMO.

My mother was a big supporter, less Ochre of course She always wanted to see, kept asking why it was taking so long Heck I don't know, while everyone else is finishing parts I have a gauge sensor on the wrong head, meaning a plug on the wrong head too Means I might need that impact I keep putting off, ordered one today.

Money pit, but when I see guys blowing 70K on new 1/2 ton trucks loaded up, at least we get something out of it and cool tools too

71 Custom Deluxe, SWB, 2WD, 402, A/C. I developed an assm. guide "kit" for restoring it from ground up. With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
