Nice survivor. Someone took their time to rebuild it. What color are you going to paint it?

squarebodies !
Good looking start to a relationship there ,just needs a little more love

since you are obviously a man of great taste and judgement (at least on the rootbeer brown) I guess you can stay. Like I have any say in the matter. can't wait to see some progress! Oh yeah, welcome from the northwest!

There are plenty of trucks on here done both ways. The great thing about this site is that everyone appreciates all the different styles. It really depends on what you like. You are the one having to look at it everyday. No sense in doing or not doing something and regretting it later! Enjoy!!!

Re: Can I join

very true statement, i guess some of it gonna have to depend on what color i go with. i think some colors look better with chrome handles and the stock molding. then some look good with smooth body. thanks man
