Believe it or not it took forever to pick this color. A yr of patience and agony with the body guy and I finally got everything but the bed. And he wants that gone too!!!

I just went and got a rust free hood off of a truck. Are you still looking for the grill trim? The top one looked dent free However the bottom one had a small dent in the right bottom corner. I think I could grab the whole grill cheap.

If you have a rust free cab laying around I'll be glad to take it off of your hands! But if you or others in the thread are looking for anything the truck I robbed had a decent grill, headlight bezels, and interior metal parts. was a 67 or 68. If I could find a good short step side I'd be stoked, I have a good 8 foot to cut down but thats alot of work I'd like to avoid. I have friends that live in Magnolia, so I hope to make it sometime.
