Thanks!
I used Blitz Black (many pros and cons depending on the search you do and the forum you search on). A $9 Harbor Freight gun and a rather small compressor. This is a father and 13 year old son build so we are doing everything ourselves with what we have, which is making some really good times. The wheels are Wheel vintiques Chrome Smoothies 15x8's, and Coker 235/75/15's. The tires were close to the most expensive single item purchased so far other than the truck itself. We did find out that the engine block had cracks on both sides and was "repaired" using JB Weld by someone. We have since located another block and are gathering parts as we speak for an overhaul. Did I say good-times...The goal is to drive it to the Redneck Rumble in September. Lots to do!!!
