Little update

Today was too nice to not get some pictures after I worked on the carb and power steering. What do you guys think of her so far? I'm thinking bout having her painted white or maybe back to the factory blue. I'm kind of torn.

Let me know what your thoughts are

She looks good!

As far as colors, white will hide more imperfections than a darker blue

That's a great looking truck! I don't think you could go wrong with either the wimbledon white or a factory medium blue. I'm a little partial to the blue but either would look awesome!

Thanks guys, I just don't know if I should keep the dent trim if I do paint it.

I'd keep the trim, dents without it seem to "get lost" in the paint, the trim helps breaks up the monotony.

That's a good idea but would it look weird with black interior? My seat and door panels are all black

Another question, do your fenders have to be cut to use the bushwacker flares.?

theres a thread here that has a real s-load of dent side pics that should be able to mess your mind with ideas. Look at some Carrol Shelby blue and white designs. Wide band aid stripes can look nice.

it was done poorly, its cracking out and the interior is still blue. not to mention they didnt even primer under it. they just sprayed over the original ford blue. didnt take any parts off. they even prayed over some stick on badges from a 2004-2008 ford f150 which fell off right after i bought the truck.
