Nothing quite as much fun as driving different! If that truck is as straight as it looks, I would be tempted
to gently wet-sand it, clear coat it, wet-sand that, and then buff it to a mirror finish. Then maybe add a
stock looking set of color matched steelies and the same tires? (Matching Black, light Gray, or Burnt Orange?
I don't know, I could make a case for each. :0)
She already seems to have a good stance. I would refer to it as Faded Glory. :0)
For what it's worth, a couple of years ago I had an old veteran follow me home after earning it's keep for a local
roofing contractor for many years. Couldn't help myself, it just tripped my trigger, first truck I've owned in 40
years. And if you are interested in how an old bruiser can look after a wet-sanding & buff, here's a peek.
