A question and a need......

I have the 650 dash and painted it with the pillar paint that I used for my guages....it looks like crap. Does anyone know what is the name of the darker tan that is used on the interior of our trucks?

Also If anyone has a wrecked or access to a wrecked superduty I need the rear shock mounts. Due to some circumstances I have an additional set of shocks and want to double up each corner. The front kits are very reasonable but the backs are outrageous, with a "spare" set I should be able to fabricate a double mount for the rear.

Thanks

Hey Jim.

What is wrong with the paint? Did you just do a bad job at painting?

I don't know about the paint or the shocks.

Hey Rick

The lighter color looks horrible on it. I want to repaint it the darker tan color to match it's surrondings better.

I know that you do know about though........

Jim, I have some of the medium Parchment paint in my tool box at work. I'll check tomorrow and give you a call.

Just a word of advice. When you paint, paint the cupholder and the "hook thingy" at the same time so there isn't a color contrast.

I had to go to a paint store and have SEM paint custom blended to match. Its pretty dang close too. Like you I couldn't take the lighter color down there. If you can't find the paint send the dash cup holder and hook to me. I'll shoot it and send it back. I would just send the paint but it's a PIA to ship a gallon container of paint.

Thanks Darrell much appreciated! I have to check the can that i used to see what color it is, or supposedly is

I have to agree with Neil, Rick you went above and beyond in that matter

Mike I might just have you do that if I cant match the color to my liking. Thank You very much!

I have a spare dually axle sitting at my house. I have no use for it so the bracket are yours if you want. Question though, are they just clamped on there with a u bolt or is it actually tacked?

Some of them are welded and some are bolted, I need those and the ones that mounted to the frame too. Thanks David
