Looks great. Do you have a pic from the front? The 80 front end with the single square lights is growing on me.

Thanks guys,
Grim, This one has round headlights

Grover, The guy I bought it from painted the outside before I bought it. It was a mutt color  ??? 2 or 3 things mixed together. I painted the inside and the bumpers. The local NAPA had a spectrograph and the nearest match was a 78 Mercury LOL

69byrd, It had the dog dish hub caps. The local Pull-A-Part had the trim rings for $2 apiece  ;D

I am thinking about a set of those wheels and caps for mine after seeing how good they look on yours.

     That is a very nice looking truck.  I also like the color scheme.
