Okay.  Im not usually one for street trucks at all, but understand the reasoning. 
BUT, I gotta say that looks awesome.
Get rid of the handles, single pane windows, and maybe black out the front grille.  Says nothing but muscle.

I like it. But me personally I don't like the shaved look on these trucks too much. I think the exterior handles and mirrors breaks it up and makes them look better head on. The one piece windows would look pretty slick!

trust me the picture does it WAY too much justice.... for now anyway! although there's no rust the body needs some SERIOUS tlc! all the really good body shops are have quoted me 6-7K for a show quality single color paint job.... and up to 10k for a custom two tone becaus of the things the body will need to be worked out perfectly (although those prices do include shaving everything

That's a sweet chop. It'll be even better when you have it in person.

OUCH!!!  :o  Man, my bodyman that did my '91 quoted me about $4,000 for a complete paint job on my CC dually. The body is straight and rust free, but there are a few holes and things I need shaved and welded up. But DANG! Your truck is half the size of mine!
