1969 Chevy short bed truck for sale. It was restored 18 months ago using house of kolor paint. Its a combination of galaxy grey metallic base, six kandy apple red mid coats, HOK clear coats and topped off with HOK flow clear. The exterior is show quality and you can definitely tell by the shine and depth of the paint. You don't see many true kandy paint jobs and so when I do take it out you get a lot of attention and compliments. The pictures don't show the real effect of the HOK paint but you can tell that it "flops and pops" in the sun...its kinda like going from a burgundy to a bright red color in the sun. It was hard to even find someone that would be willing to paint a Tri HOK job (didn't help it was a dark color and body had to be perfect). You have to trim everything in (like firewall, door jambs) and then fully assemble the vehicle before painting it all at the same time in order to not get stripes or shading. Everything but the rolling chassis was taken apart during the restoration. The body lines are better than factory...I actually went through 5 doors before finding the correct fit. The motor was also replaced and has less than 1000 miles. It is a brand new custom built 454 full roller and balanced motor that was rated around 650 hp by the builder. It has a solid roller cam and has a very lopey sound. It has several new external motor parts like Holly 750 carburetor, MSD ignition, 4 core aluminum radiator, new wiring harness, ceramic coated headers, chrome alternator and chrome power steering pump. I just installed new 40 series flow master exhaust and it sounds awesome. With the exhaust out the back you don't get the drone sound in the cab but you can sure hear the motor when you are turning 7000 rpm. I live on a gravel road and since I had it restored (about 18 months ago) its only been out a few times. I spent so much time and money restoring it and don't want to ruin it by flying gravel so it just sits in the garage. This is 1 of 3 trucks (66 and 71) I have and I need to make room for one of my kids project cars...this truck is way too nice and powerful for a new driver. Only serious bidders please...this is a very nice custom truck that has a lot of power and needs someone that can appreciate and take care of a show car quality vehicle. The list of new parts is very long but here are a few of the big items...with each item includes new hardware when available- 2 new doors- front windshield with custom chrome trim- rear windshield with custom chrome trim- tailgate- bumper- cowl hood- front grill with Chevrolet letters- inner fenders- cab corners - rocker panels- vent windows- sound deadener inside cab- carpet- interior (roof interior, dash pad and door panels)- wheels- tires- heater controls with cables and seals- new 3:73 gears along with all new bearings- 400 turbo (rebuilt) with 3000 stall (it will move off idle but stalls when you hit the throttle) - chrome glove box, door handles, locks, mirrors and rear view mirror
