Nice looking truck you have there. Did you remove any of the suspension/axle components before paint? I need to do that too.
Where are you in Louisiana? I'm from Mississippi originally (born on Keesler AFB) and spent time in Baton Rouge and Kenner. My folks still have a house in Kenner.

Great looking truck man! I love to see them hit that 300K mark. These newer American trucks are parted out or in the crusher by that point. Only domestic trucks getting that kind of mileage are old Dodge trucks with Cummins motors, and they're just junk getting pushed around by a solid motor by that point.
I've got a 3.4L engine just sitting here in my shop ready to be swapped in to mine but I can't seem to pull the trigger. My old 3VZE still cranks up and runs better than the 5VZ in my 02 with only 140K on it. I'm one of the few big fans of the old 3.0.

Got the top from Killer Toy Tops... worth the money.
