i love it!! great color.

nds1968 · 08-05-2011, 05:40 PM

That explains why I thought you had the wrong hood

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-05-2011, 07:21 PM

Oh yeah, that is a sweet truck! That color is great, good luck getting him finished up!

Longhorn Man · 08-05-2011, 09:49 PM

i would recomend painting the dash pad and the top of the dash black. The reflections in the windshield would be bad with white... which is why they never made them back then.
Looks better than awesome.

Good call,top of dash and ac vents are painted body color flat.
The door panels are SEM Santa Fe, paint the dash pad to match?

I would paint it to match the door panels.

And.....the truck is looking GREAT! And I think it was smart to not worry about the area of the cab that's never seen....

Same here. If some one gets that picky over it, they shouldn't have looked that close.

His name is Dennis, he is one of us and is a gifted metal worker.

Thanks, I value your opinion on this. You have a piece or two that's going to show up on this build.

vectorit · 08-05-2011, 11:19 PM

Looks awesome!
I bet you are stoked to get it back together and on the road!

HeavyD · 08-06-2011, 12:11 AM

Beautiful truck! I will add that I have seen a few trucks with a black dash pad and white seats/door panels, and they looked good. If dying yours white doesn't work out that well, black may may be an option?

fast50ranger · 08-06-2011, 09:11 AM

That is going to be a good looking truck

QKENUF4U · 08-06-2011, 01:53 PM

geezz relax guys..... if it was mine i wouldnt have wanted the dents there.. just cause i would always KNOW they are there.... but no worries.....
anyways love the interior color scheme... that would look awesome with the body color.... you can have someone recover the dash to match.....

RCbowtie69 · 08-06-2011, 02:06 PM

hot trux · 08-06-2011, 07:35 PM

In your pics it looks like the ceiling in the cab is missing the interior layer of steel, was it cut out? Is that standard in some trucks or is it an optical illusion? I can't remember ever seeing a cab like that.
By the way that's a beautiful truck!
