Must be nice having a rust-free truck :D What's the cab and bed gonna be, more of that green + yellow? Saw a '70s Kenworth highway tractor done like that once, it was beautiful!

Love the green. Bolt some seats on it and go.
It's almost a shame to put the clip & cab back on.

would've looked better if it were each piece painted individually, with the hardware, bushings, and plumbing left alone to break it up a little.

Re: painted frame... what do u think
 
i agree... thats why im changing the control arms to tubular control arms and when i do im going to paint those silver and change all my bushings...

I guess i am going to be the only "hater" on here --- black with silver, polished aluminum and stainless or chrome accents is hard to beat, no matter how many times its been done.

But its your truck not mine -- i am sure it will look great in the end when it is tied together appearance-wise though. looks like you did a lot of work filling in unnecessarry holes and such - that part is really nice

Not my taste either, but then again, look at my truck. Sure looks better than mine. Nice work! Nothing wrong with being unusual.
