Here are some pics as it evolved.
I will be rebuilding this truck soon.....I'm not happy with it at all.
I will change some things including color and so on.

Troy, I remember you showing this truck off on Scale 4x4. I can't really see a reason for you to be unhappy with it. I think it looks sweet. Even in the photos, dressed in primer it looks cool. What are you wanting to change with the truck? The chop sure looks clean.

I was never a very big fan of chopped trucks but I gotta say... this one looks sweet. It's too bad she is going to literally go under the chopping block soon but you should have a truck that makes ya happy. Maybe you should sell this one on evilbay or the like and start from scratch with a new truck?

and build a unibilt sleeper,etc,etc.

Troy the green and black looks good I don't think the blue set it off much but a darker blue may work. Ed

Troy I have one suggestion if I may. Why don't you leave it black and spray some blue pearl over it and you will have a color that looks like blueing on a gun. I did that on a motor cycle I had and it looked good. Ed

Thanks for the comments/idea's!
I may just get another cab to experiment on.

When you listen to suggestions of others,you never know when someone might come up with an idea that ends up being used on our trucks.
Thanks

You could do the old school seminole paint scheme with blue over the top of your black base coat, I think that'd look pretty good.

Something like this......
