Wow! beautiful. You mentioned that you repainted it to factory spec......Who'd you get your paint from? Im searching for someone now who can replicate my reflective graphics, havent started even searching for paint yet.

I replaced the plastic on the dash with some diamond plate, it came out pretty good!





here are some pics of the bed, if you look closely you can see all the original spot weld marks. It looks like little dings, but it came from the factory that way. They were not very straight!

The truck has come out very nice, too bad its gotta go!

I like the diamond plate idea. I've been thinking of doing the same thing for a while.
