Got my 77 back from the paint shop. What do you think of the colors? Be honest. Also I added the cab mold and completed the body molding. Had some missing when I got the truck.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170331/93dca1fc7b398f3bec39261f7896668f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170331/0e61a5aa7e7cfd9573d16af605da1495.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170331/140eb03e60242f45d07af1c6bad70a18.jpg)

does look really good and done right

Looks fantastic.
I have to say though, you got a California plate on that truck, but the surroundings in the photos sure look like somewhere in the southeastern U.S. Is that front plate just for decoration?
-
That is 1 great looking truck. Any pics of before the paint job?
-
Very nice !!
-
Most excellent!! And I like the Rally wheels and sport mirrors, too.
-
Nice....

Ouch. Hurts to look at that wrecked photo. Looks like you lost the spring hangers on the driver's side. Did you have frame damage to deal with also?

Very light frame damage if any. Impact was pretty much on drivers rear tire. Broke the rear end. It took two years to get this thing back in the road.

That looks really good! I saw you said you were from Cullman and I was wondering who you got to do your paint and body? I'm just a little South of you in Hayden.

Nice truck jptiger. I got a question for you tho. Aren't you the guy that said you put 1ton springs on it to raise the front?? And if so did you have to modify the control arm for the springs to fit or did they just slide right in??

His truck is 4x4, no control arms up front, it's leaf spring and solid axle.

I was in the spotlight for what...3 days??!! Oh well, fun while it lasted. Lol.
That truck is smokin! Love the sport mirrors, and um yeah, the trim is nice too, i guess.
-
Just Wow! The rally's are such a nice touch. Look like there 10" wide?
-
Awesome looking truck and the color is fantastic.

Looks a neat painting job! Should look nicer in person.

I love it, really thinking about finding cab trim for my truck-hard to find the GMC for low cost.
Rally wheels look like 8" wide, but extra deep trim??
-
What don't you like about the paint?
It looks to me like it's a two tone silver in different shades, is that correct? Not factory but looks great, something different.
I'm finishing up my '87 and hope to make a thread here soon about it so I can appreciate what it took to get your's to look like that.

Yeah, yeah...i zoomed in on it. Truck looks great. Then again, its a cali truck...it never rains there, everyday is like 75 and sunny! Here in new england, acid water loves to sit and hide in body trim. Plus, less to deal with. I did go with the wheel arch trim though.
-
The point was to show you the difference in the 77 trim and what it's supposed to look like.
-
I know, i can still go all trim. Probably just my taste. Like when i did my 79 Z28, i opted out of all the factory stickers. In my experience, body trim, emblems and stickers usually ends up causing problems. Stickers crack chip and peel, trim work always holds water sand and gunk. NOT that any of it looks bad, in fact, it looks good. Gotta have the fender badges though.
