And Scratchn's truck looks and sounds great in person too! Helped me out a bunch with my '79 Power Wagon. A wealth of knowledge!

Real clean under the hood. He's done a great job with that truck. up

Thanks B1! the hardest thing to over come is the $$$, then the doing it outside in the backyard by myself learning how, and driving the truck daily for work.

when people say "just paint it" the word JUST is the key word.

like when I said I will JUST swap cabs...sure thing. July to December "Just" to prep and swap it.

then I will "just" add a 5 speed while I swap cabs...just headers...just a 8 3/4...just save up more $$... I will just do a color change..

yes, it is a never ending story building my trucks they way I want them.

my gasser truck build is going to be Orange/black to go with the yellow/black & green/black truck I have.

I agree, my 88-440 2x truck is yellow/black and they look awesome in 2x & 4x4 chassis with wide box or a stepside.

I'm not usually real big on red but with the black paint and graphics, I think a nice bright red would look really sharp on this.

IMHO, not too many colors don't work with black accents.

get a bunch of test colors and make a wheel chart, spin the needle or roll the dice and spin needle that many times and see what you get LOL!

I am with you all the way, I was thinking orange/black on my next one but after digging the copper/black truck pic back up I really like it.

working on my color wheel now.

I have only seen one other truck like that myself.

at the Big Daddy show here in FL was a newer dodge 4x4 done up like the older macho truck graphics. hot rod black and a gloss black kind of ghost graphics and all painted on.

also saw a newer red truck done up like an older macho. vinyl decals looked good but I liked the "LOOK" of the black on black one more.

I did find out the new jeep orange color is...Omaha Orange

looking for the copper/bronze/black stripe Daytona truck color..I know one is in town, I just have to catch up to it.
