Thanks Rory. I finally decided somewhat the color/direction I want to go. It's not exact but this is more or less close enough to what I'm thinking.

wow that awesome.. remember detailed pics through this build lol im looking forward to them.


IMO you should think about a 2 tone from the groove on the top of the fenders. maby like a blue and a bluish silver, or like a oil slick black and victory red

that makes me want a k5 lol

I'm torn on the grille honestly. I won't go with the 67-68 grille though. It is between this one and a billet grille.

Thanks BOSS. It's in pretty decent shape given that the guy who owned it before would take it trail riding etc thus the few dents it has. I am just happy it didn't have rust. I can handle the body work no problem. I will be cleaning it up substantially.

I totally agree. That truck is really GArY. Send me the address and I'll help you out by taking it off your hands. You can call it a mercy killing, lol.

Ha Ha :pepper:

All joking aside, I'm so jealous dude.

Damn, I love the early k5's. I've wanted one since I was a little kid after seeing a mean, pristine, lifted one in black, drive by my house. I think they look awesome in silver as well. I think a solid color matches the persona of that body style. But that's just me. I've been keeping my eyes open for one for a while now with no luck. The ones I see are all rotted away, or in excellent shape but way out of my price range. Anyways, awesome truck man! And even if I'm a little late here, good luck with your project!
