my truck is finally one color!!!
i havent been making much progress on my truck lately. but two weeks ago i got layed off from my job so ive been putting alot time into my truck.
in the past two weeks, i did all the body work on the bed. besides cutting out and patching rust, i also shaved the stake pockets, turn signals, taillights, ends of the bed sides and all other unnecessary holes. then i painted it last saturday afternoon and had it put together and back on the truck sunday. now i just gotta finish putting in the wood floor. monday night i put on these wheels i had in my shed for the past 3 years. the tires i found in the junk pile behind my dads work. they are pirelli p6 225/55/r16. when i get more money i want to get wider ones. then yesterday my best friend put in 3" drop springs in his dakota and it maybe dropped it an 1" at most. so im like ok i gotta break out the torches and drop mine to outdo him. so dropped the front of my truck down 5" in the front and 6" in the rear. now i gotta buy dropped shocks cause right now im running none and it rides really bad, hahaha. well i gotta go eat, let me know what you guys think, later... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: my truck is finally one color!!!
Did you just set something onthe ground at the hieght you wanted, and heat till it sets on it? That is how I have heard to do it, but then get the warning that it's a really bad idea. Do you have any warning's for me? Sorry to drive you crazy with questions, but that is the ride I want! Thanks

What color is that. It pops really well especially on the computer, I can only imagine what it looks like in person.
