I posted a photo gallery if anyone is interested. Took the photos just a couple of hours ago.

Just an added note, I really want to change the wheels and the grille to black. Any thoughts?

Thanks! I've spent more hours than I care to talk about polishing that thing. I use liquid ebony, I'm going to be really sad when I run out cuz I haven't found any more old stores with some in the basement, I think I still have about 2 quarts left, so I'm good to go for a while.
That is the original paint btw. It's still shiny, but the hood needs painted and behind the rear wheels as well. I'll do that this summer.

I think it would look great if that truck was blacked out. The grill and the air deflector wouldn't be that hard, just sand the chrome off, prime it and spray it. Factory spray paint is like $13 at the dealer for 5 ounce can. I just did my handles and they look great. The bumpers would have to be black also and those might cost a pretty penny along with the wheels.

i wasnt a fan of black wheels till i picked up a nail messing round in the muck and put on my spare, looking at the rear tire (spare was driver front) i kinda liked having a darker wheel....
id spend money on some tires with meat though...

that's what happens when you leave the truck on the dyno too long.

Mayfair, sorry to say that I only own the seat time for the last 12k or so, it belonged to a guy that sells/services fire extinguishers, had a topper on it and what looked like a coffin rack in the back. He was pretty picky, I have the shop tickets from everything that's ever been done to it, it's very long, nothing major just very picky things. Both driveshafts have been replaced, front end u-joints and all the ball joints, the front wheel hubs, lift pump relocated to the tank, blah blah blah.
