Default door art

Good day all,

This is my first post so i hope that this is not a repeat post. I'v got a 66 930 gmc and i was trying to come up with some ideas to paint on the door like an "pautsch and sons" idea. So i started looking around to get some ideas as to how to go about to design the style to keep a vintage look to it, and i'm not getting much luck. has anyone had this problem or does anyone have any ideas…right now anything would be great..

Thanks

Justin

"Classic Trucks" magazine (also available electronically) covers show and meets in almost every issue. There usually is a photo of someone's truck w/ signage you are looking for. Most theme themselves around towing, repair, service. But many good ideas if you browse.

Here's a link to Jalopy journal that has some vintage and faux vintage door art.

The magazines are the best resource and Classic trucks is very cool!

Is that a door you have Barry? I hope it never gets painted! Be a great piece of shop wall art! I was a sign painter for a couple of decades but it was 80's and 90's different styles by that time and the computer was taking over.

I don't plan on painting it. I actually pulled some doors out of the tin garage Saturday, a friend needs some glass for his 60 apache 10. He flipped when he saw the door. I wish I had the match still. This truck got parted out over 20 years back. And this is all I have of it. Wall art is in its future. BLC

Here is vinyl lettering added to my truck immediately after the restoration, advertising the dealership I once worked for. It has since been removed. You can also try this link to see some examples I collected prior to settling on a lettering design for the truck. http://tinyurl.com/ltpe45z

I bought a copy of Classic Vintage Airplane Nose Art from the WW2 and Korean era. I found one I will replicate on my dash when I get to that point.

Some of these are on the jalopy place too. Sorry if any are reposts.
Also sorry if its overkill. I been away for a while and was missing my "old junky truck" fix so I got a little crazy.
