Re: need your opinion

I wouldn't choose a stock color unless your going for originality. Instead I would paint it a color to make it stand out in a crowd, something no one else would do. "DARE TO BE DIFFERENT" Kinda torn here, I always thought when you restored a truck, that most other truck enthusiasts would expect you...

Re: need your opinion

Wideblock, that sounds like a good option! I hate to go too far from " stock" and tan interior with black sounds good! Thanks, that way i can keep the original door panel and arm rest etc... color. Glad i asked. Jim :salut

need your opinion

Hi guys, need your opinions on my truck colors. I'm going to go with boxwood green body, white roof. (or maybe) meadowlark yellow....Do you think the original black interior will look ok? My nephew suggested a tan seat, but then i thought that would make the black dash etc... look bad. It is a 68w20...

Re: rear leaf springs

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Found some on vintage power wagons (used) for 75 bucks. The springs are busted on driver side, and 2 shackels are broke on other. Figured would just change out. Those helper air bags look pretty neat too. Will check them out! Take care Jim :salut
