I think you said before that those are Ford Ranger wheels, right.

Does that mean that the wheels off of Explorers, Rangers, etc. fit our trucks?

I was told it came off an F-150. *ducks* The thing is, it actually looks pretty damn good on there. It's got a bent piece on the lip, though. Still, worth sourcing out at the j/y.

Anyway, that's exactly what I call it, my Supertruck. Though now, I'm thinking Smurftruck would be more accurate. Can't complain for spray paint, though. But yeah, now that the 383 is in, it really deserves the name Supertruck. Now I just need a red tonaeu cover.

Not bad for a rattle can paint job. How many cans did you end up using?

Thanks. I was pretty surprised myself. Not one single run, either. Just keep your distance. 7 for the cab, after priming, and 3 for the box, with just roughing and no primer. Not any cheaper, if that's what you're asking.

It cost about the same to do my car the year before with acrylic enamel and a real paint gun.
