It's not as fancy as some of the amazing trucks on here but she has great lines and I love it! My daily driver here in the southwest. I picked her up in town about a year ago and as you can see it was well cared for and I try to keep it that way. Original 235, 4 speed on the floor. So far I have put in Patrick's 3:38, added a sway bar in the front and the disk brakes came in today. Next up after that is going to be shoulder seat belts and a/c as it get HOT! in the summer. This site taught me tons of information before I bought my truck and I learn more every day. Thanks for that! photobucket | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | That is a nice truck Josh! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 107 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 107 |

The chrome is a trim kit Not paint or tape more like thin sheet chrome with a stick back. I really am thankful for this site. It sure has a lot to offer!

best wishes,

Hey Les. The color was on the truck when I bought it and the owner before didn't know the exact type. So after a dozen runs to Sherwin Williams auto paint to mix up different small cans for chip cover the one I ended up with is perfect. Please re open the photos I have. I took a picture of the can with all info for the paint shop. Hope this helps!
