Those jump benches are great to have around aren't they.....definitely like the textured across the bottoms...

It'll look better after a hunting season of driving through brush. My Tacoma got it good last year,even though I tri ed to avoid it.

That rock coating on the rockers looks about as good as my final paint would on the rest of the truck 😄.

Last nights parts flowed out really nice. It will cut down on my wet sanding and buffing time.

you doing anything to rebuild the motor? Possibly later this summer. The kid is really transitioning into a mature vision for this truck. I'm very much respecting his new desire to simply freshen up the 351 with a standard bore re ring (if it clean enough and no groove) improve the cam, dual plane aluminum intake, smaller 4 barrel with elect choke, possibly a bit of head porting and of course fresh bearings, gaskets, paint detail the engine bay. I'm thinking this truck will be his baby.

Well if he doesn't want it to be baby, I'd be happy to buy it and make it my baby. It's perfection as far as I'm concerned for an old truck.

You poor soul.....
That tall boy is one lucky sumbish (with all due respect) and I can't wait to see what the preacher gets for a project. You should have your hooks well into the business by then so we're looking for the same if even better. Not to set the bar even higher. :}
