Eeek, did you have to remove the trailer fenders when it squatted? Eeeeekkk....
Yeah, something
about a visor on a truck with factory clearance lights. And I'd lose the running board / flare thingies. They'd look... acceptable if it were full-length on an SRW truck. But not on a dually; it looks half....baked. I wouldn't repaint it, but I'm partial to two-tones.

Although, it would be nice if it was the style with the light incorporated.

The fiberglass pieces have steps as well moulded in so that would be handy for getting stuff out of the bed.
No big turbos etc.
Just exh,intake,bellowed up pipes,deleted turbo parts,left over chip , maybe a dirt cheap efuel and DIY ic setup.
I'm not painting anything I don't have to. Only desperate repairs will get done.
The ol gal was a michigan truck originally. The cab underside and bed underside are good enough. Front fenders,core support,frame... All will need serious attention/replacement. I have a set of fenders I need to take delivery of . Also a much nicer frame has been located. Lots of detailing an some attention to sealing the underside up for winter duty will be paramount.

Yeah, Aaron. Bad habits die hard I guess.
Forget twins and manual trans, he only pulled this deal so he didn't have to shift gears in the Stranger any more lol.
Besides, he needs to do a 4x4 conversion first! Bill has a king pin D60 for sale...
