Is your truck primered or is the Hot Rod Flatz flat black?

it hot rod flatz black but i believe that is primer isnt it? and thanks for the comments guys, I paid 2500 for it, frames been repainted, motors rebuilt, trans is rebuilt, new carb, new exhaust, new carpet, new dash pad, new tires, new shocks, new bushings, new grille trim, tons of new parts

I have a friend who painted his truck Hot Rod Flatz red and it was my understanding that it was a one stage paint with flatting agent in it.  Either way your truck looks great!  I am thinking about doing the hot rod black on my stepside!

Nice truck bro.

[Irish_Alley]

i even have to say nice truck

I noticed, and I'm surprised no one else mentioned it, you say your pickup is an '82 but i see it has the round headlight setup.

Either way, nice lookin' pickup. I planned on makin' my 2wd shortbox look almost exactly like that.

Maybe this will help. This is from another topic he posted in.....

Ive got an 82 with a 76 front clip, its primer hot rod flatz black, looks more like metallic gray primer with black ralleye fat and skinnys.

Ahh, that makes more sense haha.

gonna really get started on here now, want to get the interior a little more complete, dont knw if ill buy a new seat cover or maybe use a benchseat out of something else, get the door panels, get rid of the yellow and get a cd player

How is it dropped? (Spindles, springs, shackles, flip kit etc...) also what are those wheels off of? and what width backspacing are they?

[krazylunatic]

its got shackles and springs i believer, i dont know how big the drop is but i want it a little lower. there chevy ralley wheels, not the truck kinda but the kind off a older camaro or something like that and their painted black.  Not much has been going on with the truck, just been driving it on the weekened cause of the weather, ordered some new door sill plated cause my truck didnt have any and a few interior pieces i was missing, the biggest purchase was a new black seat cover.  Anyone know how to tell what year my doors r from? i dont wanna order the wrong year style.  Just quit my job but should have another this week so hopefully i can really start taking care of things on it and making it a complete truck
