Still Working on it - Cab repaint, door fixes, etc.
Recent work:
Hard to show in photos, but if you saw it in person, before & after, you would see a dramatic difference, - A cab repaint (the cab paint dated from about 2003 - the bed, rear fenders & running boards were redone in 2015) got pretty involved. Removed the bed, doors and front end. Really, really happy with the paint. - Remounted/rebuilt the doors. Lots of hinge adjustment, EzLatches, a weatherstrip that allowed the doors to close flush, new window regulators (again) and some other details. - Chrome locking strips on rear 3 windows - A little bit of pinstriping ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hey Bob; your painter does excellent work, the window trim & pinstriping look great as well.

Re: 49 AD Build - Bed and Running gear Swap plus...
Thank you, folks...I think the exterior is done - just need a radio and maybe re-do the seat.
Green is good - right? (noting the avatars in the above posts).

Re: 49 AD Build - Bed and Running gear Swap plus...
Are you going with a stock style radio or custom? I plug my Ipod into a headphone jack that goes to the amp no deck, works great and it's hidden.
