Well it's pretty close to a folkstone grey. Want to thank Ashley Pike and crew @ MAACO in portland. Dick Spadaro the cab wood fit's nice

Howell's sheetmetal fit great @ all four corners, on the lower doors and rear cab panel.

Wow, beautiful job and color! Black fenders & running boards?

39portlander · 04-21-2011, 05:15 AM

I am going with black. This truck was green, somewhat. I love these trucks in green but most of them are so I went with gray. I'm glad I did.

Will post more pics when I get the bed done this fall. Dropping in the flathead soon.

Thank's Walt, hope to get the flathead in mem.day weekend, I'm a way's from getting ready to run but I know she will purr like a kitten.

Beautiful job!!! Can you tell me more about the Coker 16x6 rims? What is the backspacing and what bolt pattern(s) are available. What size tire? The combination looks great. RPM

39portlander · 04-23-2011, 08:18 PM

The rims are a multi-pattern. I have disc on the front and drums on the rear. I'm using the linc/merc bendix so my front and rears are 5 1/2 bolt circles.

Coker pretty much leaves no room for error. I had to fill out a vehicle data sheet that I'm sure is screened by half a dozen people before they went ahead with my order. If you powdercoat rims you want to make sure there correct. The tires are what were on my wide fives 6x16.

As far as backspacing that's a coker question. I went on line, decided what I liked, had several options and they made it work.
