Next month I'm going to have the bed lined. I MIGHT have the rocker panels lined as well just to break up some of the grey.

Truck looks great man. Did you have the entire truck repainted or just the problem areas?

I had the entire truck painted. After they would have painted the small dents and dings, the bed sides, and the hood, it basically would have been completely painted anyway.

Where did you get you headlights and clears from? I picked up a first gen PSD last week that needs some love in the cosmetic department.

I added a set of Westin step bars to the truck today. I got tired of listening to people complain about getting into the truck. This are temporary until I can find a set of OEM steps to put on it.

It is tall enough for me the way it is now. Besides, I don't want to have to jump in it myself. lol.

It is hard to find one of this era trucks not in bad shape. I hate rust, so I wanted it gone.

I haven't found one yet that looked close. The only ones for the Dana 60 are the aftermarket ones that are $250 each. I'll keep my stock cover for that.

after seeing all that you have done to yours....I feel like I have neglected mine:sad:

but, I love my truck all the same....

in fact I just did the filter mod....and can tell a difference:icon_thumby:

next on my list is the "ball bearing" in the fuel pressure regulator and an exhaust....

l8r, John

If you like the filter mod, you should get a TS style chip with custom tunes on it. That is the best/cheapest power adder you can get for these.
