    I'm glad someone with a far more badass truck than mine brought this up before I did... I've been considering doing it for awhile, but was gonna keep quiet until I actually did it then take on the :crapstorm:

    Tis easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission, right? :D

    As for color, i'm a fan of green. Or black, but that's not an option on the poll

    OD Green!

    I've also seen (can't remember how to get back to it) the member who bedlined his truck OD Green; looked freaking sick

    And I've seen an OD Tan Taco; while I like OD Tan, I didn't think it looked good on the truck, at all

    Just a bunch of old crap
    Green looks sick, but tan would hide the pinstriping if you wheel it. I voted tan, but personally I think I would end up doing flat OD.

    Here is the truck in all it's glory right meow.

    I personally was thinking white, but my first option was always OD. However I know NwiTaco wanted to paint his OD as well.. As I quote " I don't wanna be twinsies"

    Twinsies or not... [​IMG]
