I'd keep the stock paint. looks sharp.

You ever do anything or get new photo's?

the picture in the original post is an updated picture. taken with my digital camera instead of my phone.

the only things i've done to it are:

bug guard off
new front brakes (rotors, bearings, and pads)
valve cover gaskets
oil change
new dash speakers
and soon to come sub/amp

nothing else... need the back window fixed before i can take the topper off.

Sorry I don't have photoshop to re-design the truck but I'll give a few ideas. I'd definately stick with the stock paint, this truck is in way too good of shape to put flat paint on it. Maybe a new coat of clear on the stock paint? It looks good with the cap off. Paint the mirrors black? Put some Goodyear rubber on the Am. Racing rims with the white letters facing outward.

Good luck!

i guess i didn't think the paint looked that amazing lol. maybe it does look nice to people. i've been considering taking off the decal(black stripe at the bottom, with the red pinstripe along the top) and grinding down to bare metal, and painting again... there's rust spots that have formed under the decal and i don't want them to spread.

i was considering cutting off that entire strip, and welding on new steel.... but was convinced by family/friends that that was going to be dumping too much money into it, and grinding and then bedlining it would be cheaper and more worth it.


i don't offroad and i don't tow, other than maybe some stuff in the back every once and a while, what kind of tires should i get? all season or something?

keeping the stock size probably, just don't want to get into having to get body lifts and stuff... i guess i would consider getting bigger rims, but i'm not sure what that all entails.


also, can you buy a spare that will fit (obviously has to be the same size as the new tires if i get new tires) but does it have to be like the same tire? or can it just match with lug nut pattern and size, and be a different tred basically?
