Welcome. It looks pretty good the way it is. What drivetrain are you running in it?

It doesn't look as though it needs a lot of sprucing up. Maybe a set of fuzzy dice...

Welcome to FTE. Glad to have you. Great looking truck. F-2?-F-3?-F-4? Looks like the hubs have been converted to 5 on 5 !/2 already. How is the interior? From the looks of it all that is left to do is rest youir elbow on the window sill and grin as you drive down the road. You are starting out where many of us hope to end up. Enjoy your first effie. Once you have "Effied" you can never go back. Looking forward to more pictures.

Very nice truck. It has only started. Once you get the bug, look out.

I would just drive it as is and enjoy it for a while before you decide what you want. That's what i did with mine. Did things as i got the money but was still able to drive it.

Great looking truck. If I was you I would drive the dog out of it, all of us guys who have trucks which have yet to be put on the road would die to drive.

Like everyone else has said, it's a nice looking truck and a great start. I too would love to see more pictures of the truck.
