Thanks @RUSH55 I am happy with the truck so far. I haven't investigated the paint too closely yet but the majority of the body looks like brown primer. The roof is a shinier brown but the cut lines do not look factory at the windshield. Everywhere else is white that I have seen.Congrats @acy76 on getting your first 55! Looks like you landed a heck of a rig!
So concerning your future plans for paint - what is the color that it currently is, and is it factory? I don’t recall seeing many that color, might be worth keeping it if it’s the original color.
And that would be me, pretty sure it was green under that primer.Maybe one of the color experts can chime in?
What does the inside of the fuel door look like?
Could be? Inside the door jambs is white, although there are a couple grey spots poking through, hard to say if one is on top of the other.Hmmmmm….
Looks like there’s been a lot of re-paints.
I’m wondering if that color inside the fuel door might be beige.(?)
The brown is definitely NOT original, so we can dismiss that.
Not certain no matter the fender you find it's gonna have some unwanted holes... grins... if it's rust free plug it...Concering body and paint, I have front fenders that don't match, one has a marker light and one does not. Is one especially more rare than the other (as in, should I not attempt to cut or fill a hole but instead look for a new fender)?
Looking at your 55 pics... nice... You've most likely got the OEM fender on the right, and the left is replacement? Plus your wiring loom is fender light wired... I'd cut the hole in the left fender... my above post about plugging it was short sighted.. but I admittedly lean OEMI like the marker lights and the ones in the grille.
