Yes, Ford tractor Gray Implement paint is almost a perfect match for Dodge White.
A side view

(Sometimes computers don't like me sorry it's upside down it wasn't)
And you can see how far the hitch sticks down below the body work representing how much further the Factory bumper protruded, then my custom.
The Nissan Leaf trunk section belly pan panel that I have is going to do a very nice job of completing the belly pan from the differential to the bumper, granted I got to make some filler panels nad mounts to get her tight. The front section of belly panel from the Nissan was almost ready to bolt in shape wise. Time to finish getting the truck unloaded and build my sidewalk then I go play with the new to me 2" magnehelic gauge ,wont help with the bumper but it'll help with the belly pan and cooling stack

On a stability note at Interstate speeds I have noticed small cars have a new effect as a pass my rear quarter. The effect is most pronounced in crosswinds, when there bow wake pushes into the rear wheel well , the back of the truck gets light and starts porpoising slightly. In clean air she feels more planted than before.
