thanks for the idea.
Great pic. thats nearly exactly what I want to do with my GEN-II truck. I think I want
to paint the grille too tho. I have seen Gen-IIs with this done and I liked it.

I am also going with a single color instead of two-tone ( it's charcoal grey & light grey
now ). I am gonna use the factory charcoal grey. Should be a bit cheaper that way
since the door jambs, engine bay & tail gate jamb areas are already this color.

Also I think I will have them not paint the interior of the bed. i will use a spray on
liner instead.
