My '03's slow change

[lindsay_elaine]

I decided to start documenting my '03's slow transformation from a beat up regular bed work truck to a nice, clean stepside. It's only getting body work, no mechanical modifications (I'm boring like that) I've been waiting to paint /swap on my powerdome and 4x4 grille since I got the truck! It's getting a color change to Pepper Gray, as you can see from the last picture (really it just looks like I rear ended someone and replaced everything with the wrong color parts, lol.) I've got the all the stepside parts off the donor truck, and I plan on airbrushing something on the tailgate/lettering the back window to try and promote my custom painting abilities. I have also have a tinted factory rear window to swap in when the truck gets painted.

Started it's life with me looking like this last May:



A few months later:



And how it looks now, after the hood/grille/partial color change/new headlight mounting panel (I can see at night again!!) Pardon the dirty headlights, this was taken during a recent road trip:
