you got the ball hitch on the wrong end !! hee hee !

Ya, The ball hitch is gone! The truck started it's life in a boat yard, It makes for easy parking of a boat trailerwith the hitch on the front. It was original red, then got new white paint when my uncle bought it. The truck had just turned 100,000 miles when he got it so he had the engine & transmission rebuilt. 15 years later it reads 130,000 so I don't have to worry about the drivetrain!

From Brown Co., Indiana. Where's Markle? Choice body on that truck of yours. What will the new paint colors be?

Markle is 15 miles south of Fort Wayne on I-69. I picked up the paint on Saturday it will be two tone burnt orange on top and silver on the bottom. I will post some pics as I work on the truck.

ORANGE

is there any other color to paint a truck? I like it with the silver. It's really looking good. Keep up the beautiful work and keep us posted....Anthony

Nice color choices! I really like the stake pocket filling - might have to do that myself.

Taken apart and painted a mere 11 days after joining the site. You gonna make us all look lazy! Heck, my truck has been on a jack trying to get a spindle and hub repaired for the last 11 days. It's not even like I have winter as an excuse.

Very Nice!!! Up here you can't find one like that without some kind of rust issue. By the way, are you going to reinstall those mirrors when you're done or would you sell them? I'd be interested.
