Well mine have a long ways to go to look like that blue one. The first one probably won't even get a paint job and that doesn't seem to make a big difference in price these days. Patina is in and all that finish body work is a lot of labor and decent paint costs a lot of money. The factory turquoise truck I have, I'll probably paint since it was a rare color for them.

I used to have a 64 GMC one ton single tire and would like to get another one and put it on a newer 4x4 chassis. They looked way cooler than the chevies of the same years with their cheap stamped out aluminum grill. I saved the grill, tailgate, sills and horn button, everything that said GMC on it so if all I can find is a chevy, so be it.

That turquoise color a great. I didn’t realize it was a factory color. About 25 years ago I had a red 1951 1/2 ton with a factory 4 speed on the floor. Those are cool trucks.

I don't know about that. They look to me to be in the same league. Nice job!
