My intention was to modernize the look of my 74. So, I removed the stripes, colour-matched the top to the rest of the truck, and painted all the chrome in a satin black. I think that it looks pretty good; however, there are a couple of lessons learned here. I now understand why Toyota paints the FRP tops white or silver. When the paint flashed, it was evident that the top is very wavy. Therefore, I think that I’m going to change the top from the gloss to the same satin black that I used on the rest of the truck … or maybe I’ll have to think about it. Furthermore, I think that I’ll remove the running boards and the front mud flaps …. Anyway, let me know what you think
