Here's kind of a little before and after comparison
When I bought my old hunk-a-junk '63 six years ago, it looked like this.
![]() I cleaned it up, gave some of the major issues some attention, and now it looks like this. ![]() I kind of tried to knock off the "fresh from the farm" look of it without really killing the character. There are a few more minor things that I want to address, but it's getting pretty close to the way I want it. Feel free to share your own before and after transformations here as well! ![]() ![]() |

Re: Here's kind of a little before and after comparison
All of the minor changes add up to a big improvement, and the bed rails are a nice, natural looking addition.

Thanks, guys!
^^That truck there is such a huge change, it's almost hard to believe it's the same truck. Sure is nice, though! |

Re: Here's kind of a little before and after comparison
So basically, you removed the happy face and added the eyeballs? Good job!
![]() Actually, I think it goes without saying that that's another amazing transformation. |

Re: Here's kind of a little before and after comparison
I know I'm wrong, but the photo looks strange, like it was photo shopped because of the weird way the colors are on the back ground, the custom trim and the front left tire seems exactly the same with a slight under inflation, plus the basketball goal in the background. Sometimes camera will do that though.

Re: Here's kind of a little before and after comparison
Nice. Great to see a long time build, more evolution then BAM- new truck. I believe you should get to know your car/truck before changing everything.

Re: Here's kind of a little before and after comparison
But the pics are summer vs spring, plus they are slightly pixelated from resiszing you get do that on photoshop.
