lets see your SD's when you got em and now....

 

bought my truck brand new in December of 2004 and here she is as of oct of this year, ill post a new picture of it tomorrow

 

This is it so far. No pics of the bed before the BedRug went in.

 

Bought new in 2002.



About a year ago...pretty much how it looks now.

 

Slightly different now than when I bought it:




Still have a long list of odds and ends to take care of.

 

I bought her used in the fall of 2007...

spring/summer of 08:


now:

 

Wow FoxNotch, great job - you can't even tell it's the same truck! Mine looks similar to yours originally...though the body is in a lot better shape. How hard a job was it to add the running lights? I've seen the writeup on here but I'm still nervous.

 

well i havent done much, only have had it 5 months but
before:

after:


have a list of modifications in my head for the future

 

It wasn't bad at all. I did it with the help of a write-up that I found on here, and an f350 I had at the time. It didn't help that my roof was pretty well beat up, but it was comforting to do it pre-paintjob.

Lots of people do it without trouble, just take your time.

 

The day I bought it last April... bought it in the morning, took it up sledding immediately.



Did some serious cleaning up - new tires, wheels, fender trim, exhaust tips, raised the boards back up, removed the old diamond plate rail covers, added window vent shades, signal mirrors, replaced bent tailgate, spray in liner, and then some general maintenance (brakes, etc). I almost wish I would have taken more before pictures, but I didn't want to be reminded at the time how rough she was, lol.

Here's how she looks now, much better

 

Not much has changed on the SD... I put the rack on the day I got it, but it comes and goes. New tires... More time has been spent with on the '88 because everything was cheaper to do.

Right after I got it


About 2 months ago


'88 when I got it


All that's changed (plus exhaust which you can't see)

 

How did you go from a "short-bed" to a "long-bed?"
