Title: Pics of my friends truck
Post by: captain carnage on September 18, 2011, 10:22:39 pm

This is not my truck but my friends, who I think is registered on here. Anyways I thought you guys might like to see some pics of it as he just finished the paint and body. It is a 78 3/4 ton with a recently rebuilt 350 on propane with a turbo 400. Enjoy.

     I like the yellow and white, I am planning on painting my 74 I am rebuilding about that shade of yellow.

Very nice truck.  I like the pin-striping inplace of the stock trim on the two-tone paint.  It's definitely a look I might go with.  Good job to your friend!

I've tried so hard to like yellow, but I have yet to find a shade that tickles my fancy... but thats me. 5 years ago, I only liked black and red paint. Now on the other hand, shades of brown, blue and green have taken that place. In fact, I think my 73 may end up brown. So who knows, maybe someday I'll get into yellow.

Yellow is not my first choice in vehicle color, but these trucks just look good any color. ;D
