here's my truck I did the paint job myself (can't you tell!) with dupont industrial paint, the green was alot darker on the swatch even after 3 coats it was still a wrigleys spearamint green so I had to overlay with black to get it to darken up, HEY are those 35" tires on the saggy old stock suspension?? Why yes they are!!! and still not big enough for the 5800+ pound truck :smilewinkgrin: !!!

Nice straight body, the green looks fine!

the body is pretty straight, when I pulled the old body mount bushings to put new poly ones in I noticed that the rear cab brace that supports the whole back of the cab all the way across was split all the way up, right above the 2 bushings. This is causing the passenger side to sagg about 1/2" so I guess I'll need to tear it appart and weld some plate accross the splits!! I'm not sure how this happened but It does look like it was cargo dropped or something while serving it's tour of duty! split bump stops, smashed parking cable that runs over the 14 bolt, cab brace splits??? bent rear exhaust??
