WOW! I had not seen the new version of your truck. Last time I saw it was a few years ago at Heat wave and it still had the flames. Looks awesome now.

Re: 73-87 stepsides please

Top truck is mine, father bought it for me while I am in Kuwait, he didnt even bother asking if I wanted, He just knew. I have 350 with GM performance vortec heads, and comp 262 cam, FTP. to replace the 305 currently in it. Would like to upgrade to a Dana 44 6 lug for streetable use of 33's. I think it has a 6 inch lift, sounds like they lifted the front with small blocks too WTF??But not to sure need to get the FU*K out of kuwait so I can work on it.

Arancia Borealis Orange LAM-LOE2.. It's a pearl paint used on the Lamborghini gallardo. It looks way better in person than in the pics.

It's a beautiful color, but judging by the name and what it was used on, I'm going to assume it's a little out of my price league . I'm definitely looking for a pearl orange of some kind. Thinking of doing an orange and white two tone, all pearl.
