Thanks everybody!

The windows are the tinted ones I was scared of them being to dark but after in place they really look great.

The parts all come from classic parts. they had the best prices and great to work with if there are any problems, unlike Brothers I will stay away from them!

Got the bed in place and fenders on steps on and bed wood laying in place.

I predict a future Truck Of The Month winner here folks. That truck is top notch. I've been subscribed to this thread for a Long time now but to tell the truth I've been bypassing all the notifications I get when there is a new post because it's just to depressing to see your progress compared to mine LOL All joking aside you have done a stellar job here and huge congrats are in order!

av8tr33337 · 12-29-2013, 12:05 PM

Here is some more info I found on the suspected color of the paint.

https://www.carpaintonline.com/paint...nt%20blue&AFO=

Just can get over that color.

ChuckDriver · 12-29-2013, 12:10 PM

Truck looks great! But is the front bumper on up-side down?

**oldman3** · 12-29-2013, 02:28 PM

Now you need to change your aviator... Jim
