That looks real close to the blue I'm using on my GMC. Looks real good. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 207 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 207 | Curt,

Now, are you going to use it? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | Very nice. Is that Dark Blue, #538? Looks great. I like the factory cab clearance lights. Keep us posted on your progress.
We are doing a '66 Chevy K20 at your shop, that looks very similar. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 78 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 78 | Great lookin' truck! I see you have the same steering wheel I have in my '64. Haven't found any parts for it yet, but from the looks of it you won't need any... I think you just convinced me that blue is going to be a color on one of my trucks.

Looks like it just rolled out of the factory! Cab lights and custom cab brightwork really loke good with the blue and white color combination. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 | the truck is restored back to how it was delivered in 1965 including original 292 . Lucky the owner of the body shop found an nos grill. bumper is original, had it re-chromed. thanks for looking. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 | I would absolutely LOVE a '60-'66 factory 4x4. That's a great looking truck. I hope you have a great time driving it.

Also did you replicate all the original over spay and other little details that it had from the factory? That's what I want to do to mine make it look as close to factory as I can, with every little mark .

It is actually base coat only however I did spray some clear on the steering wheel because I didn't want to wear thin. We didn't go for the messy door jams however. Sorry about the untimely response we were at the lake. thanks for looking. curt | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 95 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 95 | I just revisited your gallery, as I sometimes do on the real nice ones... Again, very impressive! -Question: where did you get the seat cover? Is it an exact OEM repro? Thanks | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 | The cover was made out of three fabrics which I bought from oregon. I'll have to look up the source. It was about 350 bucks and another 400 to have it sewn according to the picture in the sales brochure and pictures I took of an original seat at the shop that did my paint. the material actually had a 64 written in chalk on the back! It is said to be correct and I think it is. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | Hey Curt. Is this the supplier of the seat upholstery you used?
