Full body restoration...
« Reply #75 on: January 24, 2017, 10:01:26 pm »
I love that yellow and woodgrain look. One of my favorites. If i had a 73 GMC i probably would. Did the chevy trucks put out that color combo?

Oh, and yes i'm going even older man than it was. Going with the factory original color. Seamist green.

Couple of surprises too...

Oh, and i need a couple of "Bonanza 10" fender emblems, only a couple on ebay and not that good.

I know its been mentioned, but is this type of antenna recommended over the windshield type? Where would i mount it? We're putting in a new windshield and i need to decide on the original windshield style or a body mount style antenna. Fyi, i'm not into playing music and all that high tech stero stuff. I use all original equip,,,radio and speaker.

Definitely windshield. I wouldn't want to drill a hole in the sheet metal, especially w/a option you've described.

I would opt for the windshield antenna, but an option is to run a wire to the bed and make a bracket to mount it off the front panel using the existing bolts-seen it done with CB whip antennas. He didn't want any extra holes either and ran the wire right through a grommet in one of the floor plugs.

I looked all over the interwebs and couldn't find any metal ones. Granted mine are the 79-80 Suburban ones, but still, I was surprised I could only find plastic ones.  >:(

If you want metal ones just fix up some metal ones and rechrome them.
