Thought I would show my 83 before and after paint, bought the truck new and she's been my DD since, waiting for the 60 day mark so I can buff out the paint and throw some wax on her, just washed this morning.

Looks great! Needs the mirror turned 1/4-turn clockwise though.

Unca · 10-22-2013, 05:49 PM

I'd like to throw in a possible answer to the mirror.. tall driver wanting a better view to the traffic.... I have a inside scoop on mirrors used like this.

J Knight · 10-22-2013, 05:58 PM

Looks great, love the color and wheel choice.

bluex · 10-22-2013, 06:01 PM

You forgot to put the Raiders plate back on. Or are you defecting to the 49ers with the new color scheme?
