Looks good! Very nice job on shaving and smoothing everything, looks really good. I love s-series trucks, for some odd reason lol.

I say for paint go with Smokey caramel metallic, just to be different and because I like that color :)

This color REALLY pops in the sun, the pics don't show it very well though. If you want the paint code let me know.

U333D(Gm smokey Carmel metallic), just go to a local auto store and have em mix up a can. It might be WA333D in some books when they mix the paint but it's the same thing.

Btw please post those pics of that truck you had!

Nice work on this truck! I didn't realize I titled my S-10 project the same as yours, so now I'll change mine to lessen the confusion... Sorry about that. I do like your work on this truck though, It's given me inspiration for mine!;) Keep up the good work!!!B)
