Idaho has 100 degrees heat but desert humidity and is manageable to work in.

Thanks for the trivia, I have enough sweat glands to share with some pigs. So what is a "Sweat Hog"? I was stationed up in Great Falls MT during the summer as well as Phoenix. I like it better there. But this is what I grew up with and can deal with it. My wife can't stand it.

If hugging my money tree trying to get it to bloom again classifies me as a tree hugger then I guess that's what I am.

Thanks David.

Trying to decide if I should go with a smooth tailgate from Mar-K.



Or a scripted one.

I really like the script ones. Jason's turned out sweet.

Go with the smooth, then paint cooler letters in, saying what ever you want.

I'll cast a vote for the "smoothed" tailgate. Hard to tell for sure but it almost looks like the script gate has the script panel held on by rivets. With as much work as you are doing to shape up and smooth down your truck, I think the script tailgate would just look unfinished. I agree with del66, paint your oun choice of lettering on the smooth tailgate. My .02

Thanks for the input on the T/G. The scripted looks more original and I kind of like that. I'm not fond of emblems or pinstripes. I like racing stripes, but not on this project. Plans for this truck are for a simple slick paint job with nothing on it, so I think a smooth T/G will work best for this project.
