Love what you did to the engine, it looks great. I cant tell if its the lighting, but in the picture with the air cleaner it looks like all the silver came off the manifolds?

Nice truck, What kind of paint is that? and did you have to remove all the rust first?

Yea the paint burnt off. It was exhaust paint but...

It was chassis saver, and I just did a quick wire wheel job to remove surface rust and the paint I painted it with last year that didn't stick lol.

Looks good!

Thanks man! The bed doesn't match the rest of the truck tho lmao. Matches the grille quite nice lmao.

She's completely drive able now. Still have a couple odds and ends to finish up but everything seems to be going good.

Earlier this week I went to drive it but there was a brake line issue, but it was just a bad flare.

Washed and waxed it today, gave it some new wipers and went and got a price on paint for the cab, doors and front clip. (Everything except bed and tailgate lol). The guy said 2500-3500. So that's probably not happening but I have some other ideas...

you need to add molding to the bed too

I have it and the chrome trim for the wheel
wells. You're gonna hate me for this but the molding might be going bye bye.

You sir have a great looking truck!

For some reason I'm kinda partial to the molding on this truck... With or without it though, it'll look great

I usually vote demolding every single time. However, I vote keep it and add a smoothie or diesel front bumper
