359 gets its stripes

The 359 I picked up back in late winter has been on the back burner for a while, with all my farming a knickknack trucking jobs. I have however got stacks, head lights, bumper, visor, alot of various electrical stuff cleaned up, 5th wheel and stripes painted. It originally had pinstripes but I felt it needed the stripes within. Still lots to be done.

 

Still gotta put a sleeper boot in it, sand/buff tanks and boxes, replace cab lights. This is a fun truck to drive with the steering tight, shifts smoothly and very responsive throttle. Gonna need some quarter fenders as well. I’m gonna replace the cans with 15” steel that I got from Deerhunter(preciate you) but not sure how hard it’ll be to match the blue. I think, it may have been sovereign blue but maybe it’s too light of shade???? Maybe it is and it’s just old and faded, I’m not sure. Could just paint them black but blue with black and silver pinstripe is what I’m leaning toward.

 

Maybe some in the bunk.

 

Sure nuff. It needs another round of hot soapy water on the cab corners, headliner and walls of bunk. I washed it once and did it alot of good but it needs more.
