I think it'll look good! May just be the french in me but for the most part I'm into bright reds and oranges... Only problem with being french around here though is it usually means you're into stick on scoops and 2x4 wings on crown vics mounted with wood screws lmao.

Looking Good! Im not to sure about the orange rims though. I think it would look better as a black outline.

It may look better with the orange on the body he's adding though... It'd "flow" or wouldn't look so out of place IMO. Mind you after putting the orange trim on, getting the chrome rims powder-coated black would look good too, depends on how much it is.

Hopefully you don't get plowed again 007jimmy!

well considering the truck is a driveway orniment right now i dont think ill have to worry about it getting plowed.. i seem to be fighting a electrical problem... the battery will go dead over a few short hours... the radio and dash lights stay on so im pretty sure its the ignition.. i thought door pins at first but if it was the drivers door pin then all i would have to do is open the passenger door and it would shut off... not the case here... plus the radio times out after a set time if it was the door pin... so i ordered i am orderig a new ignition tomorrow and hopefully i can get to work on the sfa swap with minimum damage to the wallet... lol.. so far i spent 850 on a donor 79 bronco for the axles and stuff... i figure a 6 inch lift is 1500 so if i do 10 inches like i want ill still be ahead of the game.. haha

What did you paint it with? I'll be honest, I'm not all that fond of it personally, but it's your truck.

So much for the orange?

I like Olive drab, but then again I was in the Army.
Paint the hood green and it really will be a fun toy.
