Keeping truck, getting painted

A month or so ago I was considering a new truck. Lots of you guys posted back to my question as to whether I should keep the old one or get a new one. Well, after much consideration, I have decided to keep the old one. Thank you guys for the comments. Took it to a body shop this morning, got a quote and decided to have it painted. Will take it in Saturday morning and they will have it for about 2 -3 weeks. Said when I get it back it will be better than new. Will be hand rubbed, all new side trim, all glass will be removed before painting and all dings fixed. Dupont paint with a clear coat applied.

Timing worked out well, will be gone on several road trips next 3 weeks and will only be home for a day or so. Sure am lookin forward to getting it back and having it look pretty!!

Might even enter it in a "show and shine" at one of the meets!
