Good looking truck! I have no idea why you'd want to change the wonderful 4th gen. front end, though.

Id keep the fourth gen and just go with a set of clear markers. Maybe even those crystal ones.

Maybe, I'm still up in the air with what i want to do.

I do however, need to get some sort of lift and tires on it pronto. I don't like this whole stock tire size thing.

i'm thinking Ion 171's and some All terrains.

Good looking truck. You know you will want to do a front end conversion eventually but clear corners do look good on that generation.

I've also decided i want projecters and black head lights.

Probably going to go with an Ebay kit, seeing how its only like $100-130 for an aftermarket kit with the bulbs already.

I've also come up with a name finally. Which i'll change the title soon here.
We're calling this one Mean Green. (I wanted Mean Joe Green, but my truck doesn't look like a Joe)

You have the style side equivalent of my truck.

Nice find and for a decent price. Let the modding begin!

I've only driven the truck for a whole day so far. It really throws off the kids i hired for my company doing their lawn work.

"Who is that guy yelling at us from the green truck?!"

Once i get my Fiance to give me the ok to spend more money, the mods will begin. (that wasn't a nice feeling, seeing my savings account drained)
