Thanks for the welcoming everyone! Chevy2racr, got any good OEM fenders or bedsides? Got some more pictures, time to show off more custom pinstripe -

Hood is in good shape, except for the hole someone drilled in the top.
Small amount of body work will conceal it well:

Bedsides not in the best of shape, might need aftermarket for both.
Front bumper has a indentation on the right bottom.
You can also see on the bottom of the pile, what was left of the wood bed.

Custom pinstripe on the bedsides (more about this in a bit):

...on the inner wells -

Rear wells good shape, need minor body work -

The back-end of the fenders -

Check out the fancy work on the underside of the hood -

Now for the bold! Haha! Real men can appreciate these (as I have). I actually liked this pinstripe work, but I'm not going to restore it with the truck. It's a little too bold for driving to the office, etc... on the farm, very cool. I am however going to try and reproduce (via vinyl) the pinstripes shown above (not sure about under the hood (that may have to go if it gets repainted)) -

From a distance, they resemble corn, lol
