Nice. However, Maaco has painted my brother's van twice and both times the paint job looked good for a couple months and then started to deteriorate. Hopefully you did some prep work and paid for one of their more expensive paint jobs. |

Maaco, did my 66 Cuda 8 or 9 years ago. Still looks good. I got one of their better jobs on a 1/2 price deal. Paid $225. If I had know it would turn out as good as it did , I would have spent a weekend with a DA |

Thanks for all of the thumbs up! I nearly took a pass on having her painted (who paints a truck?) But the front fenders had been replaced and the hood was lookin' pretty dull so I took the plunge. I have been using the same Maaco shop for about 17 years and they have always done great work for me. I generally do my own prep but they do decent work for the $$. I drive all of my vehicles regularly and they are parked outside year round (ask SS Dan) so spending 3-5k on paint ain't gonna happen. |

I bought the truck for my father-in-law who now just wants to borrow it (whew!) So it features: 904 Auto Trans, PS, PDB, SG 8.25 rear, Electronic Ignition, full instrumentation option, factory sway bar, 1978 vintage slant w/ a 1945 1bbl carb and a big crack in the windshield! She runs great and gets 18 combined mpg. I also found that all of the exhaust system is available pre-bent! I just bolted it in (minus the cat - shhh!) ;>)

hey micheal, what size tires are you running ?.i'm running 235/70r15's on mine(thinking about going to a shorter tire).my gas mileage runs 16-19 combined,usually around 17.i think my lean burn is dying,there is no rhyme or reason to the variation in mileage.once it warms up it's time for ignition upgrade. 82 d150 /6 1bbl 4spd o/d |

Nice truck, white is the purest color. Don't worry about getting it dirty, black paint would have been much harder to keep clean. Olaf |
