I notice your truck is that same green. I like the photoshop work, that will look great. What is your plan on paint?
Thank you! First, I have to fix all the rust, but I'm probably going to have someone paint it since I have no knowledge or tools to give the truck a proper paint job. That's still a long way off though, as I haven't even started on fixing the cab rust. It will definitely be going back to the 505 green, but I want to do the factory interior color as well. White bumpers and grille. I'm also considering the same white and black interior accents you did on the 63 posted above. I really like how that looks.
