Nice truck! A bit too shiny for me but it looks solid ant the power train is cool. Reminds me of the '40 I had in the 60s. It had a mild build 261 and a great driver.
I agree. It think that this ratty paint scheme is best with satin clear coat - or even an over sprayed dull clear coat.
But I am also torn. The body is in good enough shape for block sanding and a proper paint job.
