I got this truck and trailer last summer. A 94 L9000 and a 2000 Eager Beaver 20XPT. The trailer was neglected with rotted and missing boards and the brakes were all gone. The truck had been sitting for a couple years but had a new motor put in in 06. The paint was in bad shape on both. I've replaced all the brakes, seals, and tires on the trailer. On the truck I've done the axel seals, brakes, rear tires, new starter, rebuilt and turned up fuel pump, had all the oil and air leaks fixed along with a list of other repairs. I did paint the bed and hood with original paint right after getting it, but just recently started all over stripping the bed and trailer down to bare metal and priming/painting them. I just got a Cat excavator and wanted to get the truck looking good and mainly just not red. It has been a lot of work but I'm getting there.

Ok I think I figured out how to attach pics and it wasn't easy. Thanks for posting Tiny.

This is the truck where it sat for a long time and the first day.

Painting the hood and the cab. I was really nervous at first painting the hood, much more than painting the bed.

This is with the Aeroshield deflector, the KC visor and the KC grille. I've got the new chrome trim ring but not sure if I'll paint it black or not. Waiting on the bumper to be built by Valley Chrome and tinted windows.
