soon it will be

the way my truck will look, depends on tax refund amount if i go 4 or 6" lift with some 40's. can you tell by looking at this pic what lift and tire combo? im guessing 6 and 40's on 16's. my truck is identical to this one as seen under this pic but on 33's with a 3" BL and visor.

hey thanks guys not bad for an east coast truck huh? supposedly it was redone frame off 12-13yrs ago (not very well but it works), i picked it up for get this $750 this spring it needs some rot repair but heck thats cheap enough. floors, bed, wheel arches, etc. too bad i cant get the support from peeps i know they say it belongs in a junkyard.

just trying to figure if i wanna put together a bed for it or possibly hold off and wait for a OME one to come up for sale.

If its an 8ft bed you shouldnt have much problems finding one.Now Iv been waiting to find a 6ft bed for about 3 years now.I look in the paper once a week and call junk yards every few months but find nothing.

Belive it or not Iv seen more step side beds for sale than any.I just dont really care for the step side look.Even though it seems it might be my only option.I have a bed but its cheaper to find another than buy new sides and pay labor to have them welded in.
