Before and after... what do y'all think??
 
3 Attachment(s)
After 5 years, I finally decided to ditch the bed cover that I'd hated since the first day I bought the truck. With the bed cover now gone, the 1 1/4" lifting blocks I put in the rear when I got it kind of exaggerated the rake now. So I ditched those today so now it's stock height all the way around. Next week the inside of the bed and top of bedcaps where the paint wore off from the bed cover will be painted orange.
I'm pretty happy with the results.

That's a nice lookin truck. Looks much better. Covers make 8' long beds look 9'. I like the contrast the bed provides.

Looks great!

Those wheels and caps are absolutely perfect for that truck.

Did you line the bed?

I've been thinking about doing that.
Your truck looks great

It's a black spray-in bedliner that was already in the truck. The body guy said it's thin enough where they can paint it over orange no problem.

Cool. It's utilitarian

You have an awesome looking truck, but I agree it looks 10x better without the cover. Looking forward to seeing the painted bed.

Never wanted to criticize the bed cover because I know it's functional and figured you must like it since it was on there but... I must say, the truck looks even better without it!

Looks good either way, but I prefer without the cover. I wish my wife would let me take the camper shell off ours. Closest I can get is putting on a new one, which it desperately needs.

I like orange!

The body work I'm having done next week is gonna tap me out for a while, but in the next few years I'd love to paint the top white like yours. I love that look!

Re: Before and after... what do y'all think??
 
I like the white top too, but all orange is killer!

Much better my favorite 3/4 I think it will look great with the inside orange!

I love it either way, but you better hurry and get it done and under cover, here in the northeast we're biding time before the white stuff falls..

too much stuff 11-17-2015 09:33 PM

Love the new look. I went with a body colored bedliner when I repainted my truck this past winter and I will say I love it.

How do you improve perfection?
When ever some one ask (myself included)what the "perfect" tire/wheel size and rake for a 3/4 truck, a picture of your truck always shows up! I love it!

I think it looks awesome either way. Love your truck!!!
