IMO,
I really like that shade of green. I don't really care for the extended cab...look at the upper rear corner of the window and you will see what I mean. Also, it bugs me when people use late model stepsides and don't properly radius the wheelwell arch. But, Whoever made that (or paid to have it made), did a good job, I could never imagine undertaking something like that. I applaud the work that went into it.

What can you say
Very interesting truck, paint isn't what I would pick, but I have to say it took someone with a great deal of time and money to build that.
I'm not going to say anything negative about this person's ride, it's his and he has the right to do as he wants. They saved it and did something with it. Most people just let these old trucks rust away. I think the thought and workman ship that goes into any project is worth looking at it with a open mind. It is one of ours you know. 67-72

If I was able to spend that much time and money on my project, and chose to use a late model stepside, the first thing I would do is fix the wheel arch.

What's up with the paint? It looks like the painter didn't lay down the basecoat very even? If it's supposed to be some kind of special effect, it looks sloppy. Regardless of the bed and rims, I think the extended cab fabrication is one of the better that I've seen.

There are only a few trucks like that and to have a truck that everybody else can't is sweet!

Cool idea, BAD paint. My guess would be it is a CANDY job and the guy layed it out like a regular base clear. On a candy job you have to run the entire truck lenght. NOT panel by panel like base clear, or you get overlapping candy at the panel breaks making it darker at all the breaks

I saw this truck at the SEMS show, It is full of bondo and the paint was bad. I am realy surprized that they let it on the grounds.
