Cleaned And Stripped (*Pics)

i know the title sounds different than it is, but i finally got the crappy running boards off and got the crappy mud flaps off so i proceeded to put the truck back together and take some pics, i washed it and waxed some of it to see if the paint could be saved, so im gonna take it in and get it Waxed and polished because the paint restored great, and if you wnat before pics use this thread for reference of before.

nice, first thing i did when i got my truck is tore the running boards off.

What is it with these trucks and the front bumpers? My truck has the exact same crease as yours in the front and ive seen others with the exact same thing.

Looks nice. Wow, I can't believe how clear those headlight lenses are lol.

My '90s headlights were like putting a candle behind a block of cheese.

from what i gather the gentlman who owned it parked it in a garage for years and only used it to tow is trailer, so the paint is in great shape as is the interior, the headliner is like new and so are the visors

my truck is in really good shape for 142,000 miles. it got flipped on its side and it just looks like somebody got careless and opened the passenger door into pole kinda hard. its as quiet as a brand new car, and the pain looks pretty good from a distance. up close you can see it is coming off here and there, but it still looks pretty good.
