I went back to the spot of the original picture from when I first brought the truck home to do a before and after. There's 5 years, 3 months and many mods in between the two. I've done so much to it that I'm starting to run out of projects 😬

Here is my list from my first post of this thread and I'm going to add links as I go to match up the completion of the things on this list and sorta check them off: Here is a short list (in random order) of what I would like to add to the truck: cab heat...

Thanks! It was one of those rare times when everything fell in place: "look at this truck - it's just how I would spec it if I were ordering one. That's my truck. Hey, it's located in my state. It has a clean title & collector plates. The overall condition is very good. That price is...
