"The Mistress" Got a Tan....
Well,
I just got her back from paint and body a couple weeks ago....now it's time to get her running....What'd think??....It's Sunburst Metallic Orange....The bed is a reprop (the body shop said it went together very well...I was shocked!!) but it turned out AWESOME!!!...They replaced the Cab corners, rockers and patched the floor...also, new doors, new cowl hood.....2.5"/4" drop, disc front/ drum rear....Sorry, I don't have a scanner to show the before pics...BUT I am working on it....took those before I had the digital camera... Enjoy!

Re: "The Mistress" Got a Tan....
That thing is a piece. I'll give you $275 for it
 *I can vouch that this truck is truely as nice in person as it is in pictures. The body shop did an amazing job with the body/paint.

Re: "The Mistress" Got a Tan....
WOW! Awesome color... Where'd you get your sheet metal from? And how in the world did you find a shop that would do the work? Most body shops around here don't want to do old vehicles.
