Recent work:

Hard to show in photos, but if you saw it in person, before & after, you would see a dramatic difference,

- A cab repaint (the cab paint dated from about 2003 - the bed, rear fenders & running boards were redone in 2015) got pretty involved. Removed the bed, doors and front end. Really, really happy with the paint.

- Remounted/rebuilt the doors. Lots of hinge adjustment, EzLatches, a weatherstrip that allowed the doors to close flush, new window regulators (again) and some other details.

- Chrome locking strips on rear 3 windows

- A little bit of pinstriping
