(sorry about the quality, taken with my phone lol)
So far the list of mods i've done is short, almost non existant since i had to do mechanical work first... replaced the front grille and bumper, got rid of the flag style mirrors.
The list of mods coming is long lol

I've found quite a bit of rust hidden under spray paint, and the whole bottom of the passenger side door is rusted out (they covered it with bondo and painted over it, and it kept rusting) so it needs some work.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think :)

Thats one way of putting it lol my parents bought it for me, to help me out of the financial situation i was in, and im paying them back... so i really didn't get a chance to look it over throughly otherwise i would of had them walk away from it.
Once i started finding things, my stepdad was none to happy at the lies the guy told him when he got it

Its the first i've seen with this amount of rust too... the whole radiator support is rusted out, the tailgate is rusting out (covered with spray paint and bondo) the bottoms of both doors are bad, passenger side is extremely bad, there is a spot on the hood, and the cab corner on the driver side has some rust. Im gunna get a powerdome for it, that should handle the hood, along wiht new doors, and tailgate... the rest i'll see what my body guy can do. I love the truck... i've always wanted a regular cab 4x4, i just wish my parents hadn't rushed
