**72peace** · 01-30-2019, 03:50 PM

And here's the after: Still need bed liner and some larger wheels

Willys_MB · 01-30-2019, 03:58 PM

That looks really nice! I like the pin stripe, it means I won't need to buy trim!

webfoot · 01-30-2019, 04:03 PM

Looks great, how long was the jail sentence?

**72peace** · 01-30-2019, 04:05 PM

Since Mar 18, went with the clean look, one pinstripe and no badges or trim Here's a couple of the interior, didn't need to do anything to it:

**72peace** · 01-30-2019, 04:12 PM

Looks Great, Hopefully your gonna keep it parked till spring. Do you mind saying who painted it for you?

sick472 · 01-30-2019, 04:46 PM

That's got to be exciting! Mine has been in some form of body work and paint for too many years to admit. Of course, I'm doing it myself in the moments between reall life.

Congrats, it looks nice...

Do you have duel fuel tanks or did you do something different with the cab spout and gas cap?

68Gold/white · 01-30-2019, 04:56 PM

Larger wheels? 26's?

**Stocker** · 01-30-2019, 05:50 PM

That turned out great! Mine's been in jail since late October, I wish it was home.....

72 tigger · 01-30-2019, 06:21 PM

Looks good - you still have plenty of time to finish details before spring

joeydurango · 01-30-2019, 08:34 PM

Nice, I like it! Something a little different.

Nice work and paint. Great choice on the color as well!

It reminds me of one I really like to!

Good choice..... it's all personal taste but I have never cared for the ultra-large diameter wheels.

weim55 · 01-31-2019, 01:01 PM

Wow, that pinstripe makes all the difference in a finished clean look between the colors. Nice job!

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
