Default Freshly painted

Just got my '97 F250 back from the body shop.it was a rust bucket.it is now like new.
next on the list is to touch up the trim around the windshield and the wiper arms.then it's 6" stacks and a black toolbox for my tow straps and other stuff.i need to replace the hood springs so i am also thinking about a cowl induction hood and a 5th wheel tail gate painted the same as the truck???
here is a B4 pic

Eddie,that large antenna on the roof is for ham radio.it is a Yeasu ATAS120 auto tuning hf antenna.it tunes to the frequency that i am talking on.putting it up on the middle of the roof like that gives it the best ground plain for transmit and receive.
