What color are you going to paint it?

Well it looks like you have made some good progress on that truck. It also looks like a very solid base to work with, no rust on the floors etc. Should be cool, keep us posted.

Awesome truck, keeping it a stick? I am really looking for my next truck to be a stick with air, that paint is neat but man with the brown interior, wonder if that is factory.

I agree that is a strange color to see on a 1986.  Was that a custom color for a foresty or wildlife company?
