Hi all New as I said, Had this truck since new,Im an older guy and will never sell it hopefully . It had original paint on it until a few years ago but the southern sun beat it up pretty bad.And I hate "Patina" If you do fine , I love them pretty.I had a body shop for a lot years and love paint and collision work. Oh well thats me... Ive got a problem Im trying to sort out with the A/C if anyone good with that stuff Ill do a thread about it,Thanks DR.
