No offence intended either if you are smoothing. |

Yeah bud, in the creative process of this restoration, I have been riding the fine line between building something Gramps will recognize AND something that suits everything I want.
So that being said, there are four things I plan on doing that aren't "original":
removing lower trim and going smooth, spraying a bed liner, putting hd coils in front and back (to assist with my height, getting in and out), and installing a radio that has an aux out.
Outside of these things, I am keeping everything the same. Although these are some sort of large changes, I think the day I roll up at Gramps house, he will recognize his truck, but also appreciate these changes. haha, at least I hope.
If you want a quick look at the exterior final product I am hoping for, check this out:

Scroll to Derotoreut's blue truck. Thats the look I am hoping for, but obviously keeping my Hugger Orange and White Top.
