JamesW Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A quick 1 1/2 day build. I had it in primer 30 mins after it arrived, base coat last night and clear this morning. I had decided when I won it what I wanted to do with it. Just a simple work type truck. I need to pick up some more black for the trim, otherwise it's done. Thinkin bout makin a ladder rack for it.

Jared Roach Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Looks good for the time you built it in! I think you should make the ladder rack for it too because I think it would give the truck a different and unique look to it. Looks good though!

Nick W. Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I love those trucks! I wish i could find a topper so i can paint it to match the 88 I am building! When I get back from the World of Wheels this weekend I will post my two in the underglass section! Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks guys. I have a ski rack that I think came in an old Monogram Bronco that I think I'll cut up for the ladder rack. The topper comes in the kit. I had a heck of a stash of them last year before I lost everything. Workin on getting a few more of these kits.

Railfreak78 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Refreshing to see a longbed on here! Cool truck I would like to see it after your trim is done and all. Great subject, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 I prefer the longbeds over a short bed. Although I do have an X Cab short bed planned for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustomFreak Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 very nice truck, where i can get a bed cover like you have one ? cheers frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Ask around, someone might be willing to sell or trade you one. Otherwise you gotta get that kit. I traded one off to Jeff over on LIL last year cuz at the time I didn't have any trucks I could put it on. I don't think they would be too hard to make.
