Looks good . I never was a fan of 2 tone paint jobs on trucks.

Looks like a 1500 ext cab.

I've got the Dark Blue/Silver two tone and love it. I just gotta get rid of the rust that seems to accumulate underneath the front doors. :ermm:

Clean lookin Dodge!

That was my guess too, by the lug nut count. 3/4 tons usually are 8 bolt, this one is a 5.

Just the bottom or complete re-paint?

cool. learn something new.

just the bottom. got all the rust fixed as well.

i have some pics of it as we were doin it as well.

just wondering but how come you didnt get the front bumper painted to match as well? i think it might have looked better with that painted! but it still looks really good man! good job!

didnt even think about it. ive bugged the guy enough about doin stuff. ill prolly have that done and have the side moldings taken off eventually. thanks!

[97blaster200]

you can even probably find a bumper on ebay or a dodge website that has that part of the bumper chrome to match the rear bumper. and that would look good also.

$600.
list of everything we did:
-took back bumper off
-set bed back
-sanded whole bottom
-ground off all rust on back bed side right behind wheel, and couple other little places around the wheels
-puttied basically whole rear quarter panel
-puttied couple dents
-ground off bottom piece of driver door where rust was, then welded a patch there and sealed it and puttied that.
-puttied entire bottom of drivers door.
cut out a whole section of the passenger back door, where there was rust. then welded new patch there as well.
-primered all spots that needed it
-wet sanded everything
-painted door jams
-painted the rest
-buffed out line between the paints
-buffed whole truck except hood and top of cab
-washed whole truck

1/2 tons dont have as many leaf springs as a 3/4 ton right?

thanks! theres a lot of little things i have done so far to the truck that have made it look amazing. and theres a ton more in my head haha.

18's and 32's are actually next on the list. then leveing kit, intake, exhaust. window tint is actually last on my list.

also, your signature is epic. ;)
