I pressured washed the headboard and bed and the next day painted them both. The headboard got a beige color ( actually had painted the headboard beige last fall with some old paint I had in the garage but it started flaking after a couple of weeks... I checked the paint can and saw it was interior paint!) and the bed was painted black to help hide dirt after hauling mulch.
here are some pics.. not bad for a 1970 work truck:
Before:
After:
At the car show:
With the sideboards on:
With FORD letters painted black and stock red reflectors on side and rear:
I have 2 Dietz Marker lights for the rear. They go to the left and right of the reflectors at the back end, but have not put them on yet as I am afraid they might get knocked off when I dump stuff.
What do you think? Not bad for an old dump truck, huh? Now my wife says I won't want to haul stuff and get it dirty!
