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.

Im with Mr. Miyagi. It would look awesome behind that tractor, but not so much behind another one. Truck looks awesome

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

All black would look good with that tractor.
