you got it , early 80's or late 70's factory Sport truck ---- as for the tonneau -- it looks like a typical JC Whitney/Pep Boys type of deal from the 80's. (people used to drill holes in the bed to mount the buttons to -----
sheesh)

Wasnt my truck- saw it for sale in a field somewhere and had to take some pics due to its scarce nature. I also detest those wheels -- but - not my truck

Re: looking for pics of 80s crazy paint jobs

first one is mine before i flat blacked it. in addition to the crazypaint job it also came with diamond plated running boards a full grill gauard with chessey fog lights diamond plated bed trim. also the interior has custom buckets front and back with real wood and disco lights in the sealing. second one i saved off of one of the forums and the drop is a photochop by the way.

Re: looking for pics of 80s crazy paint jobs

This is the stuff that the conversion companies popped out, but what about true custom piant jobs from the 80's? Does anybody have anything like that, even if it's not a truck.
