work truck pics
Just thought i'd post up some pics of my truck at work.
Can't take much credit for anything except the pinstriping and my nearly useless efforts to keep it clean.
Stirling grey 2010 XL 5.4 3.55LSD 4x2 with tow package (linked to the flex fuel option)
Nothing special by any means, but I try to keep it as nice as possible for a work truck.

There's the truck but where's the work? 
We have the same type of thread running down in the 87-96 forum. You guys should check it out for inspiration.

thanks! i'm really happy with the way it turned out. Might do go all the way across the tail gate at the top of the tail light instead of starting at the corner like i did. I've been on the fence with that from day one.
you would not believe the comotion that little strip caused with some of the guys in charge ... unbelieveable.
i told them that if I wasn't worried about the 12 bucks i spent on the pinstripes that they shouldn't be worried about it either, that and i did it over 3 lunch breaks so it didn't cost them a dime.
heaven forbid we have guys that actually care about how thier trucks look.

I run organization plates on my personal vehicles, but South Dakota says I need commercial plates on my business vehicles. little difference in like $300 bucks a year in tags. I think they should be paying you to make it look good with the $ they are saving each year on plates.

i don't get to play too much, so the truck usually don't do much more than haul my lazy butt around ... but at least it got to do a lil' sumpin'!

WHAT!?!?!?
just curious what makes you say that?
my neighbor (who owned a body shop at the time) had his painter spend like 6 hours on it with a clay bar and some wax !!! the paint was so slick you couldn't have sat on it if you wanted to, your butt woulda just slid right off!!!
seriously though, it was pretty shiney ...

thought i'd post up another pic of my co-worker's truck.
he added a 1/8" over 1/16" black pinstripe and a black bumper strip along the lower part of the truck to ward off some of the door dings he was getting. sorry, it's kind of a crappy pic from the cellphone.
again, no big deal, just a couple of knuckle heads giving a crap about how the truck they drive looks ....
