Man, that color looks bitchin' on that truck. I don't see any that color, and it ought to "POP" in the sunlight. What is the paint code on it? Is it a factory color, or did you have the boys at the paint store whip you up a secret mix? TR

Fat fenders are fair game for any mill to be installed. Its tradition.

Nice Tig welding in the overhead. Truck is looking a lot better since you got the hood on it.

Seriously, truck is bad ass.

When's upholstery?

Truckfarmer2 · Post by **Truckfarmer2** » December 24, 2008, 10:28 am

Very nice truck. That is the exact color of my 56 panel truck. Well only the firewall is that color. Long story about how the body shop screwed me bad.
Keep up the good work. Your truck will sure turn heads. I know a guy with a 56 big window in that color and it sure confirmed my color choice.

Damn I miss my '55. Mine had a 429 in her.

Yours is very nice Johnny.

holy cow that's some nice metalwork.... I wish I had the touch and know how to do that.... Right now, I mostly make a mess out of everything I touch...

So how hard of a bump are you going to have to hit for those clips to come loose and give your middle passenger a really bad headache?
