Sick truck man. Go blue and do the graphics in white, at least that's my opinion. If I could do my truck up I would go all black with bold white and blue graphics.

Yes I bought the truck from Sand Hustlers I was going to restore it to pretty much the exact way it used to look when Chad Leising owned it right here..
http://www.off-roadweb.com/features/..._v8/index.html I'll post up pics up the tube work tonight. I am thinking blue too but I really dig that burnt orange color it used to be. |
