1028 gets new paint today

[ranchhopper]

I had some spare time today so I gave my 1028 a new coat of CARC it had a couple spots that needed attention (rust issues) so I cut them out and welded in new metal after work last week so today was devoted to paint. I picked up the truck for a winter driver, firewood hauler it was listed as a 1008 so I got a great deal on it considering it is a shelter carrier instead of a 1008. I got rid of the death wobble by putting in new king pin springs and bushings got the engine running like a top it wouldnt even idle when I bought it. It runs down the road like a scalded cat now and shifts perfect Im pretty happy with it I ordered new tail light and side marker lenses for it and all new door gaskets and weatherstripping next item will be a new block heater.

Just curious are you or have consider swaping out the tranny?

Looks great, that is to say it looks just like my truck

On the real though..... Is the pattern on the bumpers by original spec or did you decide to do that yourself? It seems like the bumpers are always the base green color.

No flames please, I know Im ignorant which is why Im asking the question.

I have not really considered it usually the overdrive trannys are electric shifted Im more of a mechanical oriented person thats why I stick with the old stuff.
