EXTERIOR:

The sheet metal of this truck is in excellent shape(perfectly straight) with all the panels fitting very nicely together.

Overall, this is a beautiful truck that is extremely nice and super clean with a lot of character and personality. This truck was built to be a shop/patina style truck, but the sheet metal/body on the truck is in such great shape it is ready to block sand and paint if you want a traditional show truck. There is one small ding in the crease of the front passenger fender(see pics) and the front bed petition has a slight bend…these quirks add to the overall appearance of the patina style, but if you want to “slick” the truck, they will need to be addressed. If you like the shop/patina style trucks, this one is super nice. It was not just thrown and pieced together, and if you see it, you will realize the attention to detail that was taken with this truck. If you have detailed questions about anything with respect to the truck, please do not hesitate to ask.
