It's going to be all green...I know there are a lot of rigs here on the forum that are this color but here in idaho I have seen none...I do plan on doing some letters and graphics on it once its all one color to make it different it should look pretty sick when its all done

Finished peelin off the pin stripes...now the bed is ready for sanding and paint and fyi for anyone that needs to do the same a razor works good but there is an attachment for a drill that works awesome and is very fast but will burn the paint in a hurry if your not careful

Can't wait for pics, all done. I barely ever see polished olive color...... Lots of drab, but never polished. I know it looks great, cuz I've seen a couple here in CA, on a Ranger and an xtra cab 92(Or so) Toy. NOT EVEN suggesting you do that, just talking out loud, lol.

Hope it goes well, man, rest of the way!

LOVE that red.... I believe that's 'Super Red 2'.... not sure. Super Red 1 is a flat color, but not the same as mine, which is more 'deep', .... or, rather, 'more of a "blue"-red' flat color.

I REALLY loved the old Brick-Red Flat paint that Toyota offered in the first gens/second gen pick ups. .............



Not a great example, not very clean... but WOW, when they're clean? SUWEEEEET! Lol.

I hadn't thought of that and i havn't seen any 1st /2nd gen pickups with the newer gunmetal color

Keep at it when you can, man.... We're rootin for ya!

Which blue are you speaking of, Josh? The blueberry blue that I had? >>>>>>>





That blue?

I had a white one, too, and I LOVED Toyota's whites back then! It was like a "heavy cream" or "Egg Shell" type of white, ya know?.... Even some new'ER ones like PismoJoe on here.... Love that white too! Here's my 86, for some Ideas for the "Junkie of Adrenalin"! lol.......




But I had an 86 Pick up 4x4 that was blue as well, and I swear it had a lil more red in it(it was almost purple'ISH, but not quite, ya know?).

Can't wait for more, bud! Stay safe up there in Idaho!
