Welcome to the forum!  Glad you are keeping the truck in the family.  

Hope you'll start a thread in the main section to chronicle you work on the truck.

Where's home?  I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we could add you if we had a city or zip.

Welcome!  

That's an interesting colour!
I'd like to see the brush bar on the front.

Is it much different in the door jambs where it doesn't see the sun?

I like the winch bumper!
It really makes a truck more useful.

You can really see the metallic in the door jam.
