That is one sharp looking ride. Love the bright trim on the rear window!

Thank you very much! That trim is a special hand crafted touch! I trimmed some used pieces down and polished them. Originals are extremely hard to find, so I made something work! :cool:

Love the raven black with all the bright trim!

It's actually not Raven, its PPG 9700 which is the purest black we could find. He wanted as deep black as possible, which makes it almost impossible to keep clean!

Well it looks great! I am sure it is hard to keep clean. Only owned one black truck and said I would never do it again! LOL

You guys have done a really great job. I couldn't keep black carpet clean let alone a whole damn truck. Time to go have fun with it. Great timing just before spring and summer. But an all black truck, wheres the air conditioner?

Thank you! This one is purely a show truck, so some comforts were unnecessary. That is one reason it also has a radio delete dash, the other reason being that any radio you buy will be outdated soon. I like the look of radio delete anyway! :)
