Been taking care of a few mechanical problems as of lately. Took it out on the interstate for the first time in probably decades, and the axle seat went out. They were replaced only a few years ago right before the welder blew up, so it's been just sitting around since then.

Any ways, I'm getting ready to paint it in the next few weeks and I'm still not quite sure on the color....... Flat black is cool, but everybody runs it, and I want a little more color. Was thinking a flat red in a spray can, but the stuff I keep coming across is a just a little too brown/rusty colored. Been painting the bed semi-gloss black though and it's looking fairly good, well, good for a 36 year old work truck anyways.
