Hey guys I just saw this 51 on Ebay just wondering what everyones thoughts were on this paint scheme. I have seen a couple lately and they certainly do look different.

I wonder if the truck is really a more "pure" yellow? It looks a little too pumpkin-ey for my taste (maybe it's my monitor?)

I like the look with the teeth removed from the stock grille, quite a change for little effort.

It looks like he's just bought some new glass fenders and tailgate, this isn't the final paint scheme, is it?

I prefer a chrome yellow rather than the school bus yellow. I hope it's just unfinished. It would look good yellow or primered but not a two-toned combination....

The truck reminds me of the Honda Element:



It looks like either they ran out of paint mid way or they expect to have a lot of rust damage and they can change out damaged panels without having to repaint. The Element, along with a bunch of other new cars, is just another example, to me, of the junk the car makes sucker us into buying.
