  • @johnpyle8027
    @johnpyle8027 Před 2 lety

    This would be the perfect shop truck! In 1984 I bought a new Mazda B 2000. Fanciest one you could get. %5,999.00 + $700 for aftermarket A/C and it didn't come with a stereo and no power steering. Charcoal grey, white wagon wheels and it had 5 white stripes along the bottom that I peeled off with a heat gun and painted the wheels charcoal grey. In the day it was a badass little truck. I like your ideas so far and maybe I'm just remembering my old truck, but I think it would be cool to dip the cab and bed or whatever they do now so that bed seam never rusts and paint it nice with 60s series tires. Just super clean, dependable and good mpg. My friend had an 83 Toyota short bed with a 22 R, It was charcoal grey too. Great trucks.
