What does everyone think

This has taken 13 years to get it to look this way, but now I can start going to some cruises and shows with it. The grill was a steel painted in which I had chromed along with the headlight trim. Check out my gallery for some more photos, and look at the work in progress photos. So those who have limited budgets don't dispear it took me a long while too. Enjoy

Very nice.
I'm not to fond of Orange but you pulled it off well.

I'd paint those blue rims a matching orange and throw them on.

13 Years. Well I got 11 years on one of mine all it's managed to do is sit untouched for 7 years. Other one I had for 3 years now and it's got the nose off and motor out of it. I hope to have at least one of mine looking as good as yours some day.

Mirrors came from Dennis Carpenter, as well as all the soft products (rubbers and window felts) and the lower trim and wheel lips. All fit just like the originals. Mid body moulding is NOS.

Hope you got some theft deterrents on it... Nothing worse than looking out the window and your truck isnt there. I know from experience, bad deal. Luckily I got it back, and now its in my gallery.

Yes it has been lowered 3" in the front and 4" in the rear, also has a front disc swap in it. The lowering kit was DJM square tube not dream beams
