Man that cab is some of that clean!! Is that the original paint or has it been repainted? That paint scheme looks great as well. Love the Green/black 2 tone.

I sure like that dump bed. I probably have enough hours shoveling old roofing shingles, dirt, wood chips, grass, lava rock, sand, Horse Manure, ect out of the bed and trailer that I could have built one or two. That would be awesome to just sit in the cab, press a button and do a couple hours work in a couple minutes, expecially with them Shingles and lava rocks, They don't shovel out very well. One roof I did, the shingles wore old and came off in little chunks. Took like 4 hours to empty one load in the hot summer sun. I'm Jealous!

Oh yeah,it's a re-paint.In the first pics here if you look back,you can see the original colors it used to be.Red/gray.
Thanks.I looked around for a while picking out the perfect shade of green.One day I spotted this mid 2000's mini cooper of all things,sporting the shade I was after.Got online and found it it be called British racing green metallic.The black center I had already planned cus I knew black goes so well with green.

my latest project: body work




Oh I feel your pain.I went years without a dump before finally getting this one.I never take it for granted just how nice a good dump is.Worth their weight in gold.Which is why I didn't mind so much putting another couple grand into it with fresh sides and deck.It stings but I've gotten over it.I remember how nice it is to hit the button,sometimes a few times a day plus,the fact the bed goes with me to the next truck,so.I'll basically just repair/alter it indefinitely.
I actually have a dump on my F450 as well,though it needs some more repair/fabrication to work.I really need to get on this and get this truck finished this year.Just those couple things (though big expenses) body work/paint and dump bed repair.
