15 months?  It would take me 2 or 3 years to go through everything and achieve what you have.  Very impressive!

That color combo looks great.  You set the bar pretty high for the rest of us.

Thank you for posting that!  I have searched all over the net for a restoration with that color combo.  My '77 is exactly the same and I plan to do the same.  I thought they were more popular but very hard to find one that looks that good.  Are you pleased with the "tan" color?  I admit I was skeptical about it but I do like yours.  Thanks again.  Shes gorgeous

Yep sure is a pretty truck.

Like the color combo also.  However I'm a tad bias.

What suspension/lift you got and tire size?  Thanks

I'm generally not a fan of brown colors, but I do like the tan (Neutral is the official name) in this scenario. This is the original color combo from the factory, and that's what I wanted to stay with. As far as the lift question, it's a stock height suspension with 32" tires.
