Refreshed!
Looks great!

And I personally like the topper. I'm in the "grandpa club", as one of my friends says, and like toppers on all my trucks.

Decided to paint the shell. I’m between going back to the original white or changing it up to a solid shade darker gray, thoughts?

I have to wonder about USA1 - they have been 'backordered' on literally everything for months now.....with no ETA. They were moving their manufacturing to the US from Taiwan...but you'd think there was SOMETHING still here.

Truck looks awesome!

White is right…
More period correct imo. Color matched toppers weren’t really a thing until the 90s imo.

I wanted to purchase door panels last year, they wanted paid up front yet had a 6-8 month delivery time.

I held off, why would I give them my money for 6 months, that isn't how this works.

And thing is....you probably still wouldn't have them. I think they had the best stuff, but have gotten so unreliable I dont even try to deal with them anymore.

The shell is at the body shop. It was either silver or white, silver and white or white with a silver stripe. Going with the white as suggested, era correct.

I like your truck best just like that pic, with the invisible color topper!
