I'll have you know that's the finest mahogany plywood! Nothing but the best for my ugly truck, especially if it enhances the ugly.
When it comes to trucks, ugly is a matter of opinion. My opinion has always been that I could give 2 ***** less what it looks like, as long as it's mechanically sound.

Unfortunately, most people are quite the opposite.
That was definitely my wife when we first got together. At the time I was driving a dark blue 84 k10 with the paint peeling to red primer, and the 84 f150 that I still drive which has more surface rust than paint.

She was always tell me that I needed to sell my death traps and get something newer, I still have both of mine. She went through 4 stupid expensive newer ones before I finally got her convinced to get something a little older.

rdnck, I just sit and wonder about all the cars/trucks I let go. At least 4 are down to the Ministry of War and Finance. I owned a 1967 Tornado. Red, with leather etc.

I don't really sell vehicles, I do occasionally trade for something I like better. Most of mine are worth more to me as parts that I can get selling it anyway.

That's for loading my sled in and out, among other things. I broke down and washed the miserable old heap last week... sure made them rust spots stand out real nice though. I'll also be welding in a spare tire mount so's that wheel doesn't launch through somebody's rumpus-room winder someday.

I'll say it over and over: she's my baby.

She sure looks nice after a spring rinse... Probably need to throw in a set of o-rings in the return thingies and replace a cracked windshield but, she pulled a raised jeep full of kiddies from the bush this past winter. Damned fine truck.
