    Would like it to be a play truck. The frame has an 8 inch crack in one rail in between the 2 diffs so I think I'm going to shorten it up for a single drive axle. It'll be cheaper in the long run, 4 less tires and 1 less diff to rebuild. I measured it out and it will only be a foot or 2 longer than a crewcab dualie pickup.

    Thinking that same shade of blue but with metal flake in it. Probably will keep the white stripe down the hood but delete the ones on the fenders.
