This truck is owned by a very good friend of mine and is a work truck, The paint was in pretty bad condition with lots of etchings

from bird droppings and bugs and such. This job turned into a marathon detail but was tackled a few hours a day until finished.

The tool box, ladder rack and bed cover will be a seperate job alltogether as the bed was a bit occupied at the time of the

detail. thanks for looking, TD

Oh yeah, good product placement.
 
When someone I have hired (sight unseen) pulls up to my house in a truck that looks like that............we have a GREAT deal in common and I believe his/her work will be WELL above average. Nice job, VERY nice job!
