I entered my Dent in a Benefit Truck Show 2016

It took second place in the Gas Division. It was the oldest truck there, there was a 79 Dent which took first for Paint!. Look at the video, some really nice trucks at this event my truck comes in at 4:30.

The more I see your truck the more you make me want to paint my chrome/aluminum black! It's just a very permanent thing to do lol

You should do it, if you don't like it just get some paint remover and then sand down the aluminum and repolish. It doesn't have to be permanent..lol it's a pretty easy process to get it back to the way it was.

Hmmm I may just do that then. Of course it'll be awhile before I get to paint tho!

That was my thought exactly! The truck that took first in the gas division told me he had upward of 120K in a 2wd Tundra. It was a great day and a great cause.

The overall best mod was that car with the 28" wheels, I'm sure those things weren't cheap. The folks that put this benefit on were 20 & 30 somethings, I am still impressed at how that was put together and the interest that they showed in the two Dents that were there. They really video'd my truck, I think because mine had something other than a lift, tires and wheels...I think. I would really like to think this younger generation appreciates not only the new but also the classics!
