backinblack Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) OK I've ruled out the duallie, as cool as it would be it's just not gonna work. It's too far away, I'm too limited on options etc. Anyway I checked this truck out tonight, it's about 20 minutes from me the guy was out of town for the weekend. He wants 2,000 for it I'm think more like $1000-1500. The paint is shit, some rust but not too bad. It does have a turbo 350 trans and a 8 1/2" rear, engine in it is a 305. So the trans and rear are fine, the motor is coming out in a hurry for a 350. I'll talk to him monday and see what we can do on money. Anyone want to photoshop these wheels on there for me? I'm thinking that will be the wheel, drop it down, new black paint with red ghost flames maybe?

backinblack Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Chase-Fleetside bed may be a possability, I think it would look a little better too but for now I'll probably leave it alone. Chevyman-I like the way you are thinking, I was planning on flat black at first, I'm not sure right now though. It needs alot of body work before I have to worry about it though. Like I said the rust isn't too bad(there is some) but it's a 63 it has lots of dents here and there. So I need to fix all that before I paint. From what I was told it runs and drives as sits right now, the guy has been driving it some. I didn't want to mess with it too much, he wasn't there and we weren't 100% sure that he had told anyone we would be coming by. Getting shot at wasn't high on my list of things to do today, and this thing was in his back yard not out in front. I'll probably just run it like it is until I get the motor ready and then take it off the road and do it all over the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 flat back with some glossy reds would look nice. maybe a bit of red pinstriping not a lot just a few touches here and there. a few inch drop and a nice interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backinblack Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Big O you are the man!! That's freakin sweet looking, you think I could land her if I did it up like that?? I think that wheel will look sweet on there. If you're really bored tonight you think you could swap the colors, I'd like to see black with red flames. If not it's cool you've done more than enough already...Thanks buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backinblack Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Once again you are the man I'm not worried about perfection it gives me enough to go on. Although now I'm torn, the red won't show the body work as much and looks sick. I wouldn't have even thought about red before but I really like it. Thanks again for doing that.
