thats a lovely truck, wish i had got there first, like the black and gold treatment youve done on the dash ... can imagine the whole truck done satin black with a gold roof...but dont be in too much of a hurry cos , for my money , it already has a certain something in the looks department.
just need to know , is it a six or a eight.

It's a 6cyl inline with an LPG conversion
Roof is gold flake already so may mat black the truck?
No air leaving the suspension alone
It's low already and to me honest I'm not oversteuck on it
My wife loves it but me i'm undecided so I may shift it on after the summer.

If you decide to shift it on after the summer i know a certain ford man who would be very interested in taking it off your hands wink

 I'd left it as it was too, but then I'm not a huge fan of satin black.

Controversial! wink
