Default making some changes to my truck(keeping up with the Rev)

They put 2 gallons of white and 2 gallons of clear on Friday, second color on Monday, maybe a finished picture on Thursday.
The freightliner is setting in front of the same bay they are painting my Pete in 30 years later. You have to admit the FL was quite a truck in it's day, 1972, 86 inch cab, 30 inch bunk, 350 cummins, 13 speed, am radio, spring ride, manual steering, and AC.

Those were good simple AC units, roof mount with elect fans for the condenser, no extra heat from the ac into the radiator, plus the truck had shutters on the radiator which could cause a conflict.

If you want your truck to look like Rev's, don't you need to hunt down a deer with your truck first? :wink:
