Haha you and I both know what a TRUE show truck is. And this ain't it. But I'm going to do my best to do it right the first time.
Thanks for the advice I was looking about using the dealer.

What is it you do for a living? You sure seem to have a lot of interesting iron around you, you also look very proficient when it comes to bodywork.

Not so good with the bodywork but paint correction and detailing is something I LOVE to do in my spare time.

Finally got the bed off again so I could get the back of the cab polished and hopefully POR15 the chassis while it's off. Lately it seems Saturdays are my only days to work on it so it's going SLOW. story of my life OBVIOUSLY

Bumper is back on after a good polishing. Although it looks a little "nose-up" to me? Gotta see if I can get the haze off those headlights and signals too. NOS OEM grille and headlight bezels are in too.
