Re: the before and after

Did you paint the grille silver? I really like the look of it. I won't copy exactly the way you have yours as I'm not a big fan of copying someone else's work/ideas, but I do like whatever you did to it.

Re: the before and after

I think it would look real good if done right. Black, red, and silver. Those are the 3 colors I'm painting a 38 ford pick up I got. Anyways, didn't mean to make you think about colors more. I'm stuck on colors and shades for my chevy. Probably won't ever get painted.

But I do think silver would look good as from my screen it already looks silver, but since you said it was just primer, looks to be either white or a light grey.

Re: the before and after

to save on time of wood replacement i put 1/4 plate on bed sides so if the wood rots i dont have to lift the box to replace wood and makes box fit tighter to cross sills
btw 1/4 plate with 3/8 nut under gives right height of wood
