Thanks, The color is seapine green code 2422 . The original color was only available in omni (MBC) basecoat. No other brands had a formula.

Thanks for all the compliments. You could expect to spend 15k plus, espically if you pay a shop to do paint and body and other work. I did 95% of it myself .If you plan on putting that much into a truck plan on keeping it or lose $ when you sell.
Unfortunately, im going to have to sell it and am going to list it on ebay .

Listed it on ebay this past week. I cant believe that it didnt even go over $ 6100. I Feel like i wasted a whole year of my time restoring it , not to mention 11k that i put into it. Good thing i had a reserve on it. ill just relist ,if it doesnt sell it can sit in the garage .

I figuired it would be worth more than that but with the way the economy is nowadays if your not planning on keeping a car or truck long term its really not worth fixing them up anymore. It really pisses me off that i have to sell it as i bought it to fix and keep.

That's a sad day. For the time money and effort you dedicated to that truck its a real shame you had to sell. It's worth more. Hope what you did get will get you through your medical complications.....

No i didnt sell it for 6100, No way id let it go for that . If i cant at least break even on my expenses and make a few dollars ill just let it sit. I refuse to work a whole year and lose money.

That is good to hear that you have not let it go for such a low amount. That would have been a heart breaker.
