    I'm in sw pa and I'm lookin for a good place to get my 379 re-painted. Anybody have any experience with someone in the area. I heard there is a shop in Burgettstown and I know a guy that had a daycab done there but I haven't seen the truck since it was finished

    A lot of dealers and O/O's around here use Kenworth of Dayton. I wouldn't have guessed a dealership would be the place to go but I've heard they do a good job and are the cheapest around.

    Same boat and was very surprised at Tampa WS dealer pricing $5000 for same color Imron, and less if I stripped the truck first.

    Denver truck, weaver's truck and sand blasting, trans equipt. All in Lancaster pa area. A bit on pricey side but top notch work. Also heard of a place in shippensburg but haven't seen their work. I can get the name of that shop if you are interested.
