I’m one of those guys that loves ochre.
I didn’t at first but, I grew fond of Sally’s mellow yellow tone.
I wanted some of the same things as you, I cut 2 coils off the front coils with a cut off wheel and 4” drop springs and 2” drop blocks in the the back. Originally I wanted a short bed.The idea when I bought that truck was to have it painted. It definitely grew on me and now it’s probably one of my favorite colors for 67-72s.
Sally looks like a clean and straight truck! Do you still own her? In the coming posts about the journey with my truck, you'll see me change my opinion about the color... It's grown on me now also. Particularly the 2 tone ochre and white. I'm still planning on a change but at the pace it's going I may come full circle and end up right back where I started.
