It seems you have air conditioning but you covered over the vents on the driver's side; why?
Does it not work? I like the "new" wood grain style you used to replace that older stuff (I think
the old is some sort of burlwood marketing term) but I'd be inclined to keep - and even make
work if necessary - the air conditioning. Just my opinion.
In any event, I like the outside paint! I ran across one of those aluminum tailgate trim pieces
in a junkyard a few weeks ago but it wasn't perfect (or even real good) so I left it.

thanks for the compliments!! fordnfishinlover and id1982f150i6 the exterior paint is acrylic urethane and clearcoat on that.the interior wood trim is just from a newer truck. ctubutis, i realized after about the ac vents. i went and had a buddy of mine check the ac since and it still had a charge!! i am going to get an ac belt and get that working. now i need to find the proper trim piece. that should be fun to find!! haha

bghnkinf250 the belt was off when i got the truck. it is not seized up and the ac system still had gas in it. i am guessing that the cpompressor clutch was noisy but not sure. i will know by next week though when i look at it.
newrider3,when i bought the paint it was ford code 9n. it was suppose to be the same color that was the dark brown in the middle of the truck before. i dont know if they messed up mixing it or what but that is the color. i didnt like it at first but it has grown on me. haha!!
fordzilla80, i didn't swap out a whole new interior.i got some used stuff and painted it and the rest of what was original.
thanks again for the compliments
