Always Look At The Potential Any Truck Might Have Left In It

About this Previous Vehicle:

I recieved this pickup for my first truck on my 16th bitrthday, my grandparents used it for a deer lease truck to move blinds and feeders and the rest of the time it sat in the drive way soaking up the sun and the harsh weather. It has over 100,000 miles not for sure the exact milage it has right now. It had an old crappy grille gard and i took it off and but in a billlet grille to change the look alittle bit. It had the bottom strip with the crome on top I tore that off and alo took off the crome finder well flares just to give it my own look. I also took of the bed rails and replaced them with diamond plated rails. The black and tan paint was the color from factory and was in very bad shape!! It had no seats, just cardboard on springs, no head liner, and the carpet was totally gone. 2,000 dollars later I had brand new seats, new carpet, and headliner. I then repainted the truck to just plain black, and put silver flamed pin stripe down the sides. I bought a set of Eagle Alloys for wheels and I also bought a set of 255/70R15 kelly chargers tires. I had the tranny rebuilt sometime around christmas of 06, im going to put a shift kit in it this christmas of 07. I had the motor bored over to a 377. The dash has been all repainted to saddle tan. I bought the 90 model black SS mirrors to replace to the factory ones. I also cleaned the frame and leaf spring and finder whells and repainted them flat black. It doesnt seem like much but its a whole lot better than it was when I first got it. I still have many plans for it but I just havent gotten around to them, I have vortec heads for it but im not ready to pay for a new intake but I guess ill get to that point at other time.
