That was what my Flareside looked like when I first started the build.

 

 

At that time There were a-lot of repairs to be done to get it to run properly. But all of a sudden I was driving home one day and I glanced into my rear-view mirror and saw this Nissan going super fast and it slammed right into the backside of my truck, making my front end run into a semi-truck.......

 

I ended up finding all the replacement parts on another Flareside at the local junkyard.......

 

Here is how the truck looks when its newly painted.

 

Looks real sharp!

 

Looks good. 17" tires and wheels next.

 

New color combo looks better than the old.

 

Really like your truck. Mine has been a long road so far, and still a long way to go.

 

Thank you! The paint job was only $300 Dollars so I was very, very suprised at the looks of the paint.

 

That looks great for a $300 paint job. Did you do it yourself?

 

no my dads friend did it

 

Right now, I need new front tires. I believe when my wreck occurred, it took the tires out of alignment, but now it's a bit too late so soon I will get two new front tires or get all four new tires, and then get a whole steering set that includes 2 front inner tie rods, 2 front lower ball joints, two front outer tie rods, two front upper ball joints, and two tie rod adjusting sleeves. Then once I get that kit installed, I will install the new tires and get an Alignment. On both of the front tires one end of the tread is bald with small bits of metal coming out of them, and the other end is fine. In about 5 minutes I will have a picture of the tires up.

 

Once I'm done with the tires, I can move onto installing the Rockford Fosgate speakers for the rear, and Kicker speakers for the front door panels.

 

Should I get Michelin Defender LTX M/S, or the tires that I have on my truck now which are Goodyear wrangler radials? Another words which one of those two tires are longer lasting, and better overall. Also, if anybody out there knows of a tire brand and model that is THE BEST tried and true, let me know. The whole reason I am in need of new tires now is because the wreck cause the two front tire to get knocked out of alignment, and I didn't react quick enough and get the tires aligned so now their are wires coming out of them. so I am going to have to get the new tires and get them installed and aligned. I will probably have to get new tie rods put in before I can get them aligned. ( by the way the top image is the truck now, and the bottom image is the truck right after the wreck)
