Give me an opinion
Because I'm considering something half crazy.
First, you have to look at the link: http://rose.zero.ad.jp/~zbm66853/tri...g1/fw190_1.jpg
and pay attention most to the sort of wide camo swath on the wing. Those two colors are GrauGrun and GrauViolett, or two shades of grey designated RLM74 and 75.
Now picture a crew cab long box repainted in that scheme as a travelling trailer puller for a American business that imports German engineered tooling. Its just a gee whiz thought I had, but thought it worth throwing out there and see what people might think of it, in context.

It seems a bit dull to me. If you are trying to promote the business, wouldn't something a bit less camo draw more attention? If you are doing it just because you like it, knock yourself out, but I wouldn't do it to my truck.

No i personally wouldn't do it. I like how your truck looks now. If you had painted it like that, i would think black or dark teflon gray coated wheels would fit in better as a Camo scheme. Those brand new Ricksons...

Think thats what I needed ta hear. I wouldnt be the owner, and it wouldnt necessarily have to be my truck. Hypotheticals always have a lot of ifs and what ifs involved.
Kris I think you're on to something there. Definately a clash of tastes with anything at all thats chrome. That'd be a no go, and I hadnt thought of that yet.
And thanks for the compliment. You seen it since I got the nerfs? Its been a couple months now.

No i havent seen new pics of "Borg" but where is the link? If i remember correctly last time you had a painted white stock grille? I think that your truck would look perfect with a 07 upgrade with the chrome package billet grille with new lights and bumper, chrome hooks etc.

Thats kinda recent
I finally pitched the stupid Banks stickers, amen
And the badges are cleaned, they were chipping anyway
My vote for bumper is road armor :-)

Yeah Road Armor, even better. I think that argent gray grille has to go too. But i really love those wheels and tires. I have the stock Lariat wheels currently and i like the style but i think the 16" rim is too small. Are they 35's? The 19.5's on our F-550 with 32" tires looks very very nice.
