Nice looking truck.

What does your hopper look like right now? I'd say don't paint it to match...personal experience, all our trailers are painted to match and when we pull one with a different tractor it looks really friggin' stupid.

It is white. We are thinking about just getting a black one for this truck and putting the white one on our freightshaker.
