She is going to paint them with a black wrinkle paint.

Your rig looks real nice! The mercruiser cam sounds really cool. I will have to read more about that. How long have you had her? I was conflicted about changing the cam in ours. Wanted to stay close to stock for now though. Original plan was to make a bit of a sleeper. Just got the radiator redone over the weekend. Had the core replaced and an extra row added. Looks real good.

Sounds like you have a keeper both the truck and your wife. Cool history on the truck and that's worth allot. I've had my truck about 6 years now still allot of work to do I'm doing mine a little at a time as money permits...Vernski
