Needs a Sunoco sign on the door 30yrs ago we had a dirt car painted those colors and that truck would have made a good tow unit for the race team.

Cool,another name. My wife calls it the smurf truck, my adult children call it the hot wheels truck and the crew on the ferry call it the napa truck. I call it a darn site better looking than it was and tough as heck since it is painted with bed liner.

Hmmm, you did a great job getting rid of that ugly yellow. The after picture with the two tone blue looks aLOT better!!






























Just givin you a hard time. The Linex looks great...but I would've kept the stock color scheme personally.

Lol, oh, excuse me....well, being gold is a little better I suppose!

You did a great job laying it down, that's for sure! How much did the supplies for the monstaliner cost you?

Including their rust treatment, for the bottom of that door, their primer and 3 coats of finish product, just north of $500. Stuff better last a long time!

Thanks, it took a lot longer than expected, but i guess building two houses and restoring a sailboat held me back a bit. Gotta keep the wife happy
