I'd say paint is 70 % of what won't fly for most folks and will be a real deal killer for a lot of guys who could afford the truck. Not the colors and not the combination but the design that they were put on with. The "rims" while you can change them easy enough are on the super gaudy side and just like the paint are 100 percent love or hate.
Still buy that truck, take it a thousand miles or more from where it calls home base and you stand a pretty good chance of winning a few awards over the next rod run/car show/cruise night season.
As far as I know it has never been in big time show coverage, never been featured in a magazine and is not so connected to the ower nationally that you always get the "hey you are the guy who bought _______'s old truck. The kind of thing you would get if you bought Youngrodder's truck. Every car freak an truck guy in the world knows that truck and it will be connected to him no matter who might own it.
