A few months ago it was paint time! 16 yr old doesn't want a YELLOW truck. Of course he wants a matte black truck.

Replaced the steelies with new rims and tires too!!

Re: 72 longhorn build

Could have sent to painter but..... good memories with my boy, and single stage matte black is a breeze to lay down..










i know from experience that its worthless to put a high $$$ paintjob on a kids truck who lives on an island and goes to the beach 4 times a week.
