Hey Nate, what do you think the truck would look like with a little white paint on the roof and lower panels? Maybe even a lower woodgrained molding?

I may add the lower moulding, can't decide on Woodgrain or Black and Chrome. What do you think?

Dale
Sorry about that Dale... lost track of the thread my friend.

IMO... the truck looks perfect as is, but I'd always welcome another white/light green/white SWB to the mix.

As Keith posted above, I'm also a sucker for the woodgrain molding, especially on a SWB. I think your truck would look great with it, but... I also think it looks good as is.

IMO, bring the rear down a little more and drive the he** out of it.
