HooWeeee Mike is going old school! My folks had a GMC CO back in the 80s it could have used an intercom system for the driver and passenger to converse it was so loud inside! And hot the heat pouring off the motor box laughed at the A/C especially if you were sitting on the sunny side of the cab! The first time I road with dad in a conventional Pete I couldn't believe the difference, we could converse in normal voices, the A/C kept you comfortable and the ride, no more having your spine driven up through your head on pot holes!

that woulda been the GMC Astro im sure. yeah,a real joke of a truck.

They went from that to a binder, but I never rode in it before they quit North American because of a lack of loads.

[Ristow]

most guys that had an astro at some point...like my dad....refer to it as a GMC edit-hole.

do not judge all other COE's by that one.

[Strode]

That should polish up nice, no?

[Ristow]

yeah. i'm gonna try to plug weld the emblem holes,and the DSPO pop rivet holes, and buff it out.

LOL Well I guess I'll never know

Looks like the Blue Mule from White Line Fever. Hell Yeah!

[goldhammer]

Wasn't that a Ford?? Been so long since I've seen it, don't rightly remember.

[Ristow]

yep Ford. i like their old boxy COE.

i want a 362 Pete. but the FL is growing on me. i gotta figure out what color to paint. it has a blue interior. part of me wants to coordinate the blue. part of me don't care. not a big blue guy,but Summit has a few nice shades of blue.

what else goes with blue other than white?

[trellis8]

Medium gray metallic and blue.

[Strode]

If you're going metallics, silver and gold both look good with blue. Metallics are harder to paint though. That Mayan Gold metallic is bright and bold. That's what my valve covers are.

I got their single stage and used their clear over it. You can use their 2 stage paint too.

If you're going solid colors, their Pacific Blue would go good with their Bright White

Sears Weatherbeater comes in every color and it's easy to apply with a brush or roller.

I've seen some really nice 30 foot jobs done with Rustolem and a roller. My dad used to say they used a mop in his day

The old ford Ice Blue metallic and silver is a nice looking combo.

Could always do what i did on the XJ-----three colors of Rusto satin rattle can in sage green, dark taupe and shell white and camo the old girl.......
