That's one clean old truck. Love to have a beauty like that.
Which one? The Ford isn't mine. I have an F150 from the era, though- it's all show and no go.
The Chevrolet didn't look like that originally. This is what it looked like when I got it running (Top right of the photo) :

I wished I had a better photo of it. It was half-bondo.
I repainted it with a brush- I used Oliver green (I used actual farm tractor paint) and cream-colored Rustoleum for the roof. It's a 5-foot paint job. There are runs in it, and I could have done better. But, compared to the grey duckling above, it's a definite improvement. For less than $100, I won't complain. It does turn heads, though.

That Chevrolet was the truck that I was brought home from the hospital in when I was born. My father parked it for some reason (It ran and drove at the time), and I fixed it up. That truck will be with me for life- there is no way that I'm ever selling it.
It's good for showing off my junk, though! ;)
Maaco has pretty good deals on Tremclad tune ups!
Us rednecks don't need to pay nobody for our pickemup trucks!
If you're at least 5 feet away, it's not bad to look at. Just next to it, the details show themselves.
The truck makes me happy. That's good enough for me!
I can remember way back when Maaco and Earl Sheib had 99.95 paintjob specials. Course if you wanted it taped off then you did it yourself or paid extra.Quote:

Thank you Wiki;Quote:
In the 1950s, Earl Scheib expanded his company with locations across the nation and started a national ad campaign. Earl wrote the commercials and became the company spokesman. He became famous for his slogan, "I'm Earl Scheib, and I'll paint any car, any color for $19.95. No ups, no extras." This campaign and slogan was maintained until Earl died. However, the price was slowly increased over the years. By 1970 it was $99.95, still a very low price for 1 day service.
I'm NOT even going there ! roflmaoQuote:
