Hey Adam, This looks baddass... Now all you need to do is sling a bunch of mud on it by takin' it boggin' around that pond...

OK, at the risk of making a fool out of myself, what is the deal with the blue on the truck? Is that a special effect that just doesn't photograph well?

George, the onyl blue on the truck is the stripe to seperate the black/grey and yellow colors. Is this what you are asking about?

No, I was referring to the front half of the truck, the black/gray. It looked blue to me. I know it's some sort of design it's just not clear at all in the photos.

Adam, I think it looks good. Very clear & easy to read. I like the grungy texture on the front of the truck/hood area. Did you create that yourself, or was it purchased, and if so where from?
By the way- is that a letter "Q" in the hood right between "HI" and "SIGNS" ?

Looks good... but isn't "HI SIGNS and misdemeanors" an impeachable offense under the U.S. constitution?
I have a soon to be retired Ford truck of similar vintage that would require more than what you've done for an augmented appearance adjustment. Mine would also need the span·a·dent wrap.

I created all of the textures/patterns in the background. The only "purchased" fills are in the logo and lettering. The grunge effect is very easy to reproduce. Download the brushes and follow the instructions here. And, yes that is a "Q". We through a bunch of letters in the background for some added dimension. It's very subtle, and I agree kinda cheesy.
Don't misunderstand this, but IMHO, I think the backround gives a weathered look to the whole truck, almost as if the clear coat was peeling off. Probably just me, but it just looks out of place on that older body style.
I'm sure the pics don't do it justice. Rapid
