Its cool its a LWB, and the color is awesome!

I might have have lowered it a bit more, but that's just my opinion.

Great truck!!

the color on that is awesome. I don't want to steal your color but I would like to know what color code or name it is. Its a shade or two off what what I'm looking for on my truck. I work in a body shop and I know pictures do NOT do color any justice; I'd want to see if we have any color chips of it

ace of shades · 04-20-2009, 02:56 PM

knowing that its a merc color should be enough. It should give me a starting point to go from, Thank you anyway. Congratulations, the truck looks damn sharp

lax54650 · 04-20-2009, 08:31 PM

looks great! i had an 84 ranger about that color. wish mine was that close! looking at yours makes me rethink mine.... i was going to paint the whole firewall the color of the truck (spi orange) but i like the way yours looks black from the gutter down... would be easier. not sure about inner fenders being body color but inside fenders is a must.every time i log on here i rethink my plans.

big mike71 · 04-20-2009, 09:32 PM

Looks good, I like the color.

ZombieWeinerDog · 04-21-2009, 09:24 AM

i have a before pic now, dug about 4 inches into the ground, no engine, thousands of ants(I mean THOUSANDS). no radio, lots of rust, a full tank of 20 year old gas.

bigguy69 · 04-21-2009, 10:24 AM

wow! it sure does look good now!!

VA72C10 · 04-21-2009, 10:27 AM

ha ha, it is actually at a shop were i work. it stores many cars, other heavy machinery for gravel crushing. it was used for a company truck when bought in the late 70's from a camp ground. it was parked in 89 and sat there with a full tank of gas for 20 years. the straight six was taken out and given away. the hood was stored indoors though. when we draged it out of the ground, there was still air in the tires... as i said earlier there was THOUSANDS of ants. we then started to dissasemble it. i found a couple mice in the dash. then we took apart the heater and we found a big nest of them. and there was the gas tank that was rusted out leaking horrible smelly gas everywere. lots of rust to.

I am constantly amazed at what is restorable. You did a ton of great work to your truck. Another one is saved. Great job. I once had a 64 Chevyll ant farm. Ants don't play, when they take over, it's over.

we managed to get them out with a shop vac and then a heated pressure washer

russj67 · 04-21-2009, 03:01 PM

Very nice truck! Good work.
I just had my truck painted in a similar color. I still have a long ways to go, but it is coming along.

R.L. · 04-22-2009, 12:28 PM

Thats a nice looking truck, congrats.

russj67 · 04-22-2009, 11:35 PM

3" front and rear. It has 275/60/15 in the rear and 255/60/15 in the front. Oh yah, no engine in it right now so it is up high in the front at the moment.

mikajo39 · 05-02-2009, 10:07 PM

That is one heck of a color! Its really nice to see more on the road other than the generic silver black red blue of all the imports today "oh look a blue civic" not the same as "dannnnnnng look at that chevy!"

sjarrett71 · 05-03-2009, 11:01 AM

Nice truck. Mine needs some body work if you want to do it. You know, now that yours is done you might get bored.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-03-2009, 02:39 PM
