It'll be the same color as the truck. I do plan on some nice mud flaps on it either way. I'm just not sure i'd like the rock gaurd that high. IDK

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

All paint guy's are the same they just look differnt.....lol.....no offence to those of you that paint...

For your aplication I think rock guard same color as the truck rockers down.......but thats just me.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Ryan, what brand of rock guard is he using? I like that stuff on the new Toyotas and newer vehicles. I am wanting to find some good stuff to use. Thanks man, and good luck on the project. Trevor

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I would not run that rocker guard any higher than the rocker panels..

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I believe it is a SMC product, but I'll varify it. It is a finer grade, not real bulky and uggo. Maybe I'll have pics tomorrow for ya.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I don't think he did. I hope not, because that isn't what I wanted. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Well, supposedly the cab and doors are orange. He wants me to pick it up in the morning, so we shall see.....................................................

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Pictures tomorrow of the rock guard?.....that implies paint is on it ?.......Dude your making progress.

I got a call from the body shop today myself.....prostreet truck is being blocked....cough cough.....and the new floor and rockers are in cab # 2 and tomorrow they are starting on box # 2...cough cough....sureeeeeeeee they are.....lol

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

LMFAO! I hear you man! Yep, he said the pumpkin is orange. He told me he needs more paint too. He painted the inside/outside of the cab, fire wall, inside/outside of the doors, and the bottom of the hood. He told me he used my whole gallon on that! With the reducer and hardener, that's like a half a gallon of paint. I hope to hell it isn't a run factory! He told me the label called for 2 to 3 layers for good coverage. He said it didn't start looking good until 3, so he did a 4th to make sure. I don't care as long as it looks good! I'll buy more paint! :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Damn Im pretty sure I would have at least drove by there to see color at least and pee all over myself..

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

================================================

You ever see the blue and white long box i did...?......9 coats and you could still see through the blue...if there ain't runs in it...it ain't painted.....oh or the other body shop lie.....just park it in the sun and the paint will flow out.....lol

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Well, it's an hour away at the moment. I'll just wait to see it in the morning. Plus it's sleeting right now and is getting pretty slick.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Sweet! I can't wait!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

:lol: I just figured since the last crew cab long bed I had painted only took a gallon of paint, this truck wouldn't eat an entire gallon. Oh well, at least it's not 3 different colors of rust and primer now. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Cant wait to see the pics..

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I went and picked it up this morning. now I have to move a few trucks and a couple cars to get a truck out of the shop, to get this one in before the rain comes tomorrow. I forgot to take close up pics of the rock gaurd for you Trevor, but will try to do it tomorrow. Any how, here it is. It turned out ok. When it was in the booth I wasn't real thrilled. We pushed it out side, and I think it looks a lot better than it did in the booth for sure!

iD SAY IT LOOKS PRETTY DAMN GOOD..

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Looks good from here but what is all the white stuff.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks guys! It might just get to one color after all!

:lol: It's a PITA! :lol: I guess it could be worse. We haven't got much of it this year at all.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Looks awesome! I found this thread earlier today after searching for 2wd to 4wd conversion threads. I am seriously contemplating using the 4x4 suspension/crossmember etc from my 73-80 4x4 parts truck for my 68 Suburban.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks! You could probably make it work with some mods.
