Re: Need Opinions
I'll throw my 2 cents in. The points made about people not recognizing the value of an original truck are true. I think these trucks are only original once and it's very difficult to find them in that condition. Anyone can paint it and bring it to like new condition. Having said that, it is your truck and your feelings about it are the most important. If you don't like the patina look then go ahead and paint her. If it was me, I would take off the front bumper and grill to have them repainted the white. The mirrors too. Then I would have the paint buffed to bring it to the best it can be. Any rust areas - which it doesn't look like you have anything - would be neutralized and then touched up. As to the bed, from what I understand the factory pine boards were painted black, so that's what I would do to replace them.
That's my 2 cents. But the key point is do what you like since it is your truck.
PS - very nice truck
