I plan on changing the dash for sure, and the center console has a big spider thing on it that has to go too...
The headliner isn't my thing, but not sure it's worth the cost to switch it out. Plus it won't be so bad once there is less blue on it.
The paint job to make it blue isn't the best, it will need both box side most likely. Otherwise it seems decent. Has some leaks, but I will pick those off little by little. It might need some glow plugs too. It didn't like starting at 40 today...

Yep. I'm with you on the stick on hood scoop deals too, maybe you could give them to Dale to put on the Dodge, should make it sell pretty quick. What are you looking to change on it? Ah, I see. Roads are clean enough to drive it around now?

Well the hood scoops, dash, center console, and the tail lights are first.
I don't know what else yet. Still have to go over the rest of the truck and figure out what it might need mechanically too. A lot of the wiring for the lights is cheesy, so I want to redo it. The headlights and fog lights are converted to HID which is nice. But the fog lights used speaker wire to do it. WTF!!!

Hi Chris.
Weird, where did it start leaking from?
For sure, those scoops and dash need to go, and the spider on the center console too. Nice, speaker wire????? Best to go through all the wiring. At least you have something to do on slow days now..............

I have to get some tail lights too. It has some LED ones in it now. The third is LED too. A clear lens one. I'm not a fan of most the aftermarket tail lights either. The ones I do like are $300 and that's not happening...

Dave with that headliner all you need is a DISCO BALL. I do like the seats but what was he thinking on the headliner and the dash, he must of been a smurf, LOL.......
