Outstanding looking truck!!! And it is hard getting a truck to look that good-especially in black!

Looks so good-I would be scared of parking that truck in the street or outside of the garage at night-at least in my neighborhood!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that you have a good garage,high fence or a big dog to protect that truck at night !!

Thanks everybody.

The grille is from Carriage Works. P/N 40023. Yes it's still available, you have to order it through the right distributor.

The tonneau cover is a Pace Edwards Jackrabbit. If you look carefully at the rear shot, I LineX'd the inside of the bed and had them spray over the top of the box and tailgate.

Hood and Roll pan are both from Cervini's. The hood is the Ram Air and yes it blows through, I don't have the ram air kit because some FTE members think it'll not add anything to the performance. PLUS on a 95, you have to change the airbox and air intake to make it work. Right now, it just blows through.

No interior pics. Stock red. XLT package. VERY clean cosmetically, very messy otherwise.

AND YES, it gets parked behind a security fence. I've already been advised NOT to drive it in the winter time in case some idiot crashes into it.

Very nice looking truck. The hood is great (I want one for my Mustang and my truck but the Mustang is gonna win this battle for $$$). I have always heard great things about Cervini stuff..how was fit and finish out of the box? I like the glossy black out theme with the headlights, grille and bumper. Only thing I would add is that I know they make front parklights in a smoke finish. And yes, dropped with some meats and nice, simple but flashy wheels is a future necessity and will look awesome. Great truck!

That's a awesome looking truck, although to be brutally honest I'm not to fond of the wing thing off the rear off the cab, other then that its a really slick looking rig.

A suspension drop and lighting rims would look killer on there. Do you have any plans for the exhaust? A set of tips out the back or lighting style out the side would really set it off.

Where did you get your headlights and taillights at? Most of the aftermarket lights I've seen for the 92-96 trucks are kinda goofy looking, I really like the ones you've got though.
