Thanks! It's the 3 years of sun damage and the stain and Spar Urethane that makes it look so good
I had to replace one board, so it's lighter than the others, but I'm really liking the darker look to the wood. The painted strips tie it together as well I think

Thanks John! Unfortunately, the cab is rusty enough that I pretty much just want to sand blast the entire thing and fix all the rust. If it wasn't as bad as it is, I would probably just try to patch and blend, but too much rust to do that and the cab has been repainted one too many times. Because of that, I'll eventually do a full restoration, but it's not going to be a 100K paint job. It will be something that will look good, but won't be limiting me to still use it as a truck

Thanks! I like it even better than when I first put the wood in
