Re: Before and after!
 

Keith that is awesome photography! And an amazing pickup also the story behind that truck is awesome!

Re: Before and after!
 

My truck when I first got it. It smoked like an old dirty whore, the tonnue had a boner that lasted more than four hours. The front alignment was more crooked than beetle juices teeth and with that rear rake you swear it was haulin a** everywhere but instead it just lethargically dragged it http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...R/ab426c64.jpg

Years later here it is now

Re: Before and after!
 

It ugly but there's a lot going on underneath that the pictures don't show. Started out as a free longbed with bad engine. Coupled with a welder and a 75 dollar Craigslist step bed and some shop time it is getting better every day.

Re: Before and after!
 

When I bought it. Blown engine, pretty much all original. Rear ended salvage title. Interior was immaculate. $800.

After a few dollars...new engine with vortec heads and new 4l80e for that overdrive...new glass, tint, trim tires etc.

Re: Before and after!
 

What color is that paint? It almost looks like a gun metal grey. Either way, it looks great. Thats the same color I would like to paint my Jeep one day

Re: Before and after!
 

It is the original color of the truck, the paint code is 18, and the color is charcoal grey metallic. The new paint has much nicer metallic than the factory paint had. I drive by a old cj5 all the time that's the same color, its on about 35s and has aluminum diamond plate rockers, and rear corners. It looks very good.
