Nothing wrong with it.. just kinda out of the norm

I like to think like the truck and figure out from a history perspective how it got that way. Thats all. The black GMC I have now had a silver painted bed in it. It was strange stuff. Not really paint.. but not really bedliner either.

Then when I tore the suspension down it had all been painted with this stuff too. Its odd what some people do.

**KevsClassics** · 02-07-2013, 09:51 PM

Rene, Can you drive it down to KevsClassics this weekend so I can install tilt? Call me.

**special-K** · 02-07-2013, 10:38 PM

Yeah,I agree on the caps w/whitewalls & blue wheels. Gettin' a bit over color coordinated there (unless you cover the buckets with blue & white candy stripes)

The former owner played a white xylophone inside the bed?

ohhhh kayyyy (?)
Hey,I have a cooler just like that. Wait...I better go out and see if mine's still there!

I swear you were reading my mind Keith, a lower black molding would look fabulous, then I guess I would have to lower it after all.

Sh#t I come this far, what's a little more.
