The stripes are weird, i thought they were a dealer add on or something but this truck has actually seen a few different layers of paint. It was originally black with some stripe decals i can't quite see but they are faintly there. Sometime in the early 80's i'm guessing the top 3 stripes were added YELLOW ORANGE ORANGE. Sometime after that RED PURPLE was added via rattle can and it looks horrid and is fading away, at this same time someone touched up the black paint with black rattle can and sprayed over some of the other original decals on the hood and tailgate.
The plan is a respray and getting new custom vinyl cut to mimic the original decals from the 1983 Mitsubishi brochure.

The brackets up front are for a tow bar. I'll be making a custom bumper for rock crawling protection.
