That truck gets more miles without moving than another internet vehicle, I first saw it forsale about 5 years ago, and it keeps reapearing on behest of different sellers. It like the Dodge Truck version of the Going out of Business electronic and camera stores.

Substitute black for the white (too much contrast)and extend the black to the back of the cab.

That way a clown suit wouldn't be needed to operate it.;)

More like this.

Or this but with the black to the back of the cab.

Some stainless grill bars would tone it down some too I think. Its too bright right now. The red wheels with wide whites dont help either

I wasn't very impressed with all the overspay in the engine compartment. Looks like it got powerwashed and then spray bombed without any masking whatsoever. When I see that, I question the attention to detail on the rest of the "restoration". Surely not show quality, let alone an attractive paint scheme.

It took me awhile to figger out that I had seen this type of paint job before...flipping through one of Don Bunn's books I spied a b&w photo of that style of paint, then found this with a google search:
