Ha! I've had diamond plate on my pig for years now, on the top of my front bumper for use as grip material.

I like how tucker74 painted his truck. I was thinking of painting mine the same scheme but in burnt orange and an off white.

Here is tucker's

look kinda interesting. I'm leaning toward the red and black or solid blue. I got a long way off still so i'm still not sure. I'm thinking I want to pull the body off the frame and Por-15 it like http://www.arkansasironpig.com/frameoff/index.asp this. The black looks good as a top coat for the interior.

are you sure it is not orange and white stock colors?

I actually think it may be orange and white stock. When I open the gas door or any of the doors it's a nice shiny orange.

Yeah, that sounds good. I may be go visit a junk yard and pull some seats. I haven't made up my mind yet.

I'm tossing around the idea or making it more of a DD since the wifey wants me to lose my other car. If that's the case, i really want to redo the interior to the point that it's semi-custom (such as scrap the stock dash and build my own). Install lots of amenities, power locks/windows, stereo system, etc.

If the dash is looking ordinary like mine did, rather than fuss around trying to better what toyota did, just glue some upholstery on it yourself and it'll look good as new, it wasn't that hard to do either. pics below of mine.

By the way, thanks for sharing those pics, it's given me some inspiration to do something other than just a solid blue on the outside, i quite like the blue/black two tone.

Orange & white (fudgesicle, in the old KIP language) would be a rare and valuable find indeed. If it is truly a Fudgesicle, I might rethink repainting plans...

I'm thinking this is going to be close to my final decision.

Thanks for the idea. I may do some other things as well, like croming the front grill and side vents. I figure it would match the mirrors. Also I may (**and don't go nuts on me here**) paint a design on the hood of something. I have a few ideas floating around in my head. But I'm not sure so far. I'm thinking it will be red like the stripe.

Kinda like the graphic on the t-shirt. Or Maybe a coat of arms from my roots.
