Restoration COMPLETE........almost

well its been a while since ya'll have heard about whats goin on with my truck, so i found some NOS fenders for 75 a piece, snached them up at the dealer quick.

the drive train has been rebuilt back the end of april. oh i put new leaf springs in the rear out of a cab chasie 88 F-Superduty. because mine were broke right down the middle.

primed the cab and put the front fenders on weds. working on the bed now its going on by this evening, if i can get that gooseneck hitch unbolted.

so i am going to let the primer set up for a week in the garage before i shoot color. just to be safe.

i picked 02 Viper Red. unless someone has another suggestion on a good red. i havenot gotten it yet. so i am open.


and yes i have pics....

so check the gallery

I'd go with the original Ford color, myself. Hard to beat in my opinion.

DuPont has Boyd's Red too. It has no brown tones in it what-so-ever. It's a smokin' hot shade of red.
