    I've been enjoying watching your build, as I just finished a restoration on a 59 1 ton with a friend. Really like the blue color on the interior pieces. Are you doing any blue on the exterior too?

    what a difference. I remember seeing the first pics you showed us and thought there was a slim chance you could return something that rough , back into a respectable looking pickup. The amount of rust you were faced with was unreal. But here you are with an AWESOME looking rebuilt pickup and by the sounds of it, you had a blast building it along the way. I really like the color contrast of the red oxide with the off white interior, it's always been a favorite of mine

    Thanks! The pleats are white and silver sparkle, so is the headliner. Think it will really set the interior off.
