nice! I'm still working away at my frame off. Started in 05, looks like it'll be next year before I'm done.
glad to hear you're enjoying your ride.

Gotta love taking the truck out for a cruise. One thing's for sure, that is a nice looking truck

Keep after it nutinbutford! This one took us about 2 years but Dad is retired and had a lot of time to put into it.
Thanks Devin. I like the color combo on yours- gotta love the two-tones, there don't seem to be very many in my area.

Thanks, I love the color of mine too. I haven't quite figured out what kind of paint they used for the tan. It's obviously not two stage like the brown is.

Devino, I searched the forum for "1979 Paint Colors" and found the following. If it is still on the truck your VIN / door tag stamp can help with determining original paint code, etc.

Yeah, I've decoded the plate. Paint code is HU. The original owner repainted the truck back in the 90's. It almost seems like he brushed on the tan.
