and for everyone who's asking about my drop and wheels, I'm going with 20" coys and a 6/8 static drop...I originally posted that I was going to go with 18s and a 5/7, but after looking at classic87's truck, I'm in love...I can deal with a little rubbing and hitting bumpstops for that look...

the reason I really want to keep the patina is not because I'm cheap, because I can have a top notch paint job for pocket change...I like the look, but I was wondering what yall thought about it as a marketing aspect...I'm going to have the truck in my booth at different car shows and also I'll be showing the truck when I can't get or they don't have vendor booths...I want the wow factor...the interior is already going to be over the top, I just thought the old aged exterior would make the interior pop even more...

From a strickly marketing aspect i think its a great idea. You want the eyes to be drawn to what your selling(interior in this case). Add a shop logo on the side and it will be a vehicle that people will remember. I say go for it and keep us up to date with some PICs
