HI Lynx! thank you for the compliment! I believe sometimes we're just forced into fixing things or modifying things cause you probably would be astounded what someone would charge to do it, whatever "it" is! Like a paintjob, not to forget rusty panels, rotted out cab parts, etc., So if you're painting your truck, then you just about have to dissassemble the truck to do it correctly. As simple as these trucks appear~ there's a lot to them!
I just sent an email to the shop that painted my truck to get the paint codes. I hope they remember! I didn't have it painted, the previous owner did. I do know the paint that was used was 1100. per gallon (go figure), so the previous owner told me) ! The body shop had kept the truck for a couple years to work on it at their leisure, also allowing the lady to pay monthly on the work being done. Unfortunately, they did it backasswards, meaning there was much to do before painting the truck. My truck looks good, but there are underlying things which are going to kick my little butt some day! If you read my build, you probably saw some issues that I was up against.
I think your truck is nice looking, judging by the pics! If it's mechanically sound, do some minor mods and drive it! I bought my truck for the project aspect, something which would take me a few years. After projects are completed, I loose interest and need something else to do! lol
You may have to go to the regular forum to get more attention on the forum. I don't think everyone looks on the build threads unless they're drawn to it somehow. I"m not really sure how it works! ; )
I think I've learned a great deal, but there are folks on here that perform unbelieveable modifications and just know a lot!
Ok, heading to the garage to finish unmasking the truck from painting things the past few days!
