It's really going to look nice with that color!

Are you going to put any chrome on it ?

I can't wait to see when they get it finished!

Keep us posted.

Except for the chrome exhaust stack and new cab lights that I added, about the only bright parts will be the stainless steel mirrors that were added years ago and the nameplates that go on the hood. I may install Alcoa wheels but that's as far as it'll go. I'm trying to keep it as original as possible.

Looks good.

What a great looking truck. I'm glad to read you are keeping it as original as possible and I can't wait to see the pics when it is done.

I'm seeing red now! They've painted the cab and buffing it out now. The bedliner (Superliner) has been sprayed on the bed. They should be spraying the rest of the truck sometime today.

The painting is finished. It'll be moved to the prep area to install headlights, trim, glass, stack and cab lights. I should be able to pick it up by next Tuesday.

Better pictures today. They were busy installing lights, mirrors and trim and doing more buffing on it. Even though they had done a good job of masking off the engine it still had overspray on it so they are going to paint it. It really looks better in person than in a picture. The paint is deeper red than what it show. Really didn't want to leave it, won't be back over to see it again until Monday.
