Metallic Copper

Just got it running after sitting for last 15 years

Bought it mostly to take my dog for rides


It's a work in progress

Wow that is a beautiful color. I see lots of hard work and progress right there. Congrats for sure, I also see it HAD a Lund visor at one time. Make sure those holes are sealed very well.

Yeah, it had a visor and a cap. Took those off before I even started to work on it. It was a bucket list truck as my first vehicle in high school was a 1978 F150.

How often does the pup let you borrow the truck?
And what is the fee to do so?

Not sure exactly what the correct color name is. I ordered touch up paint and that's what it was called.

Thanks. Your truck looks great. It's the first one I've seen besides mine in that color. Is that a 6 foot bed?
