      Dan,

      Not everything needs to be restored. Sometimes a "survivor" is best left alone.

        I think the truck and Cherokee should be a matching set... either same colors, or reverse two tone of each other

            I think he means me. Your rig Dan, but I'd leave those colors as is. Another great score for you. Congrat's.
            He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. Faithful and true to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

              This is just me, but if I was doing a frame off resto on that, it would be Sunshine Yellow with the indian pattern black and white side & tailgate stripes from TonkaJ200 and go without the big Chief trim. Is this the one with the Borg Warner Quadratrac?

                      I like the copper and black.

                      Me too re being a survivor. Original paint is cool.

                          What Flint said, but in Hemi Orange - or whatever AMC called the orange used on Chiefs. Bold and uncommon, just like the truck.
