Leave it or paint

[Jj1981]

I corosealed it when I brought it home it's kind of growing on me.  I like the idea of bronze and black trim what y'all think

It looks worthy of a good paint job, but I really like the rear bumper, someone really did a nice job on it.

Thanks

Leave it and drive it

[Fowl Jeff]

I love the way it looks as-is!

[Charlie Stephenson]

Don't touch it  --- drive it every where except during weather where some out of control vehicle could slide into it.  " that's an  order "  In my onion it is a beauty as is.  Enjoy it. Charlie Stephenson

I love reading it when I can give orders and not get hit up side the face for it.  Charlie Stephenson

I vote for leave the paint alone also. My only suggestion would be to snug that bumper up to the body up a bit more.

[Jj1981]

thanks I'm almost to its first drive in 38 years it still needs a lot of work but I'm happy so far

I like it! The bumper height would make it easy to step up into the bed but it might drag sometimes.

I was thinking add some little wheels to it and it could be a wheelie bar. But then again, it's probably a lot to due with picture angle lol.

Depends on your plans.....keeping it stock....don't paint it.....if you are tearing it all apart and rebuilding then a paint job is warented IMO......

i am a little biased as I have paint

Sounds like a plan!! You might start a trend with wheelie bars..

Do you have any pictures of your truck before you applied the corroseal?

[Jj1981]

Before

[WarriorDog]

WOW!!!!  Turned out nice.  How did you apply it?

[Jj1981]

Foam brush and a spray bottle

[farm Pilot House]

linseed oil it thats what Ive done with mine

Check the me and my meadow Brook thread for another brush on protectent.

Very, very nice. I would play around with side boards on the bed and rims. A two inch lowering would also be my choice, but then It's yours, do it your way. That's what I like about trucks, they look good from patina to paint, or actually from paint to patina!

I do want to level it out in the back.  The ultimate would be to slam it but that's way down the roa I'm toying with a matte bronze with gloss trim with gloss black wheels

Guess I don't understand slam it. Are you going to slam it into a brick wall? Slam it into a big tree? What benefit would slamming it have?

[Jj1981]

Lower it to the ground or real close

[Don Coatney]

Why?
