    Well it's a great looking truck. All I would do is get some beefier tires and remove the hard top. You may need a topper though. Any thoughts on a soft topper?
    Take some more pics when you get it all cleaned up.

    Are you going to rattle can or what? Those rubbery flaps paint up easily?

    Great looking truck. Something good to remember your dad with. Take car of it, and he'll take care of you. ;)

    Cap on or off? I like it for the looks and the bed is open without it but the cap keeps things dry and secure.

    Off in warm weather, on in colder weather. Best of both worlds! Looks best off though.

    Ditto. Looks good on. Sweet truck. Nice to have something from your dad to remember him by. Long story but I ended up with nothing from my dad when he passed.
