[bucks77ford]

wow, it really turned out great and will be even better when it's all together.

I have been doing pretty good the truck is comming along pretty well to. Future plans include pulling motor and tranny motor is getting rebuilt different crankshaft and pistons turning it into a 400. The tranny is getting all new gaskets and maybe a shift kit. After the motor and tranny get redone im planning on doing a 6 inch suspension 3 inch body and 38.5 inch super swampers. But for now im going to collage and once i get my cdl and drive for a while i will have the money for these things. And i got a 1965 chevelle for free to. Should i ditch the brushguard?

Should i ditch the brushguard?

I would. Or paint it black, if you decide to keep it.

Truck looks great!

Truck looks great. Not sure of the push bar. It looks ok and might be one of those things that grows on you.

Looks great......................................minus the grill, the 78-79 grill looks the best to me. But it's all about what YOU like.

 

[Skandocious]

I think the grill guard will look better after it's lifted You could take it off for now but keep it around to see what it looks like with some big meats under it

 

[cipsmithers]

Or you could ship it to me...

Lol i dont think that will be happening.

 

[flareside_thunder]

You don't live near me do you? I know someone huntin for an older chebby musclecar...motor and tranny not needed.

WOW...the paint does look good. What color white is that? And I vote for the push bar being off for the time being. And I look forward to the future build.

 

[Alvin in AZ]

What color white is that?

Eeek!
I've always called it "Chevy white".
YMMV on that?

Well it looked a little to bright to be wimbledon white, so I figured I'd ask. Cuz I like having the original colors on Red...but next time she gets painted, I'm thinking of going with that really bright old tbird red and a brighter white.

Go with a pearl white, that's what I want. GULP.....Nissan has a nice pearl white. Wow that may be worse than Chebbie white.

NO THANK YOU...not a fan of pearls at all on these trucks. No offense, but I feel it gheys it up. When I got Red painted, my painter actually suggested going with the Caddy pearl white of the time...needless to say, he got an emphatic no. Don't get me wrong, pearls have their place, I just feel it's on cars and luxury SUVs.

Yeah but when the truck is all white it's nice to set yourself apart form the Matag man. But I hear you. I'm not a fan of off white's though, and some whites are just to generic.

Then why not go tutone...Originally, I preferred the blue/white...but I've been swayed in the last few years.
