Welcome and enjoy!

There are many sections on here where you can get info on performance and appearance parts for your rig. Cruise around the site and check 'em out.

What kind of modifications are you looking to do and how much would you like to spend?

well I just bought the truck and I am still in high school so i was kind of looking at the cheaper end of performance maybe a throttle body spacer and things in that price range as far as looks maybe a billet grille and some taillights

I'm not sure about mechanical mods, but if your truck is like mine, you have rust in the wheel wells. I've been eyeballing the rust patches on www.broncograveyard.com They look to be exactly what I need.

Theres not much you can do on the cheap performance-wise beside open up your intake with a k&n kit or simular since you already have a good exhaust.

Your truck is speed density and won't take much improvement without a custom chip to run it, but you could upgrade to Mass air for a few hundred and that would help open up the possibilities. Mass air is much more tolerant of performance upgrades.

I'd settle to good looks, get the grill, rims, add a few hotties to cruise with and you're all set
