    I Love this truck and I have not even driven it far yet.Love that it looks Cool as Hell and it's not a Pete or a KW

    What blows me away is how nice the original paint is yet. Granted the small company I bought it from took care their trucks but the paint is really shiny for being 21 years old.

    A day with a buffer and some thinner to remove the old pinstripes and mural and it will look like new.

    Thinking about a lighter green to trim it in certain areas where the paint is beat up like the headlight area.

    Just DON’T use a razor blade !!
    If you have access to a hot water pressure washer, it will make your stripe/decal removal MUCH easier.

    The pinstriped swirlies on it are hand painted with old enamel.

    I'm thinking some paint thinner and a little 3-m compound will clean them off.
