sometime ago I saw a post on here about a guy who just painted his ( I think ford ) long bed truck. It was green flaked . he was getting if ready for a trip but I cant seem to find the post .. I'm looking for pics of 60s customs and that truck came to mind anyone know who he is or have pics of it ?
ElPolacko's truck perhaps? He painted it right before VivaLasVegas. It's a 63 Ford, 427 Chevy powered.
Dig the grille and bumper treatment! Paint job ****s though! HEHE You don't wanna get into the 'rama and not be all striped up! When you gonna get Pops to do it???

[ QUOTE ] You painted your truck Yeller?! [/ QUOTE ] Yup Jeem, painted her yeller with the finest Ace Hardware rattlecan School Bus Yellow. All the "fake patina" yahoos kinda inspired me do it. In 4 or 5 years when those jokers get tired of the that look, mine will be starting to fade nicely again. She's also got nice Gilmore Oil Co. logos painted on the doors now.
You are right, two patinas for half the work!(?) Besides, I heard "Ace is the Place". Hopefully, all you COOL guys will let me park with you at the next Scottsdale GG thing now that I have something to drive. Too bad ElPolackos truck will be too nice. He'll have to park with the important folks. HA.
That has to be the most bad*** unibody I have seen. I don't even like green or scallops in particular but that truck looks right. I can even forgive him for putting a chevy motor in it since it is a big block. (Psst. don't tell any of my Ford buddys but I have a 454 laying in wait for a project)

( On the offchance that was enough ****ing up... Mine is a '60, I was thinking a light color and it will have '62 Mercury Meteor Fins & Tailights and a '63 Ranchero Tailgate... )
