Default Bought a Truck!

After looking for a long time,I found this one.Needs a little rust repair,but still seems solid.
It's a one-owner truck,with 121,000 miles.Has all the heavy duty stuff.I also got the window sticker.

I'm also thinking of having the lower body painted gold or silver.
Does anyone have a picture in red with gold?

Why? I think it looks pretty good as it sits. Nice clean truck.

While I admit that I like the dark grey 2nd color they used below the side moldings on some years, I think 94 was one of those, your truck is doesn't need it and I'd only do it to protect the lower portion of the truck body if it was necessary.

That's a pretty truck just the way it sits now.

Thanks! I pulled the left rear fender flare off,& discovered that that
wheel arch is rusty (the other three seem fine.
I got two quotes on the rust repair.MAACO said that they'd do it for
a little over $1700,if I found two replacement doors & fenders,& they'd repaint
the whole truck.
Another shop said they'd cut out the rust,& repair it all for $2200.
I'm torn on which way to go.
This is more money than I'd planned on spending,but I really like the truck
otherwise.
