A good friend purchased the truck planning on a full blown resto. Absolute cherry 100% rust free truck no dings dents except for a small dent in roof, more like a mark from hand or maybe someone tried to use it as a ladder to get up in the attic.
Not a big fan of the color combo but he decided to keep it as it was. I helped him do the paint work on the nearly perfect body. For sure a few hundred hours to tear down and paint. PPG concept was used for the refinishing.
He recently decided that he would not finish it in the next 5yrs because of family, work and other commitments.
Problem is I moved 1400 miles away so now need to figure out how to get it to me without breaking the bank.
A few pics prior to paint. He should have just buffed it . . .
Chassis is pretty much gone thru and done, paint is nearly complete with only tailgate and front valance left.
Inside of box was pretty much perfect too. A HUGE reason why I like the truck and can put up with color because it was so perfect to start with. This truck needed a proper job.
Remember, These pics are the BEFORE pics. Simply amazing it survived that long. A true little old lady truck from new. The camera date is way off. These were taken in 2010. The new paint was from 2011 to current.
