Is there anywhere that sells dress up parts for these old suckers. Ive got the 3rd gen badges and its painted Inferno Red. The old truck's sharp but I'm always looking for improvements.

 

what kind of dress up parts?

custom or?

 

Love it for what it is. I've had 2 2nd's and 1 3rd and I'd have to say the 1st is the coolest I've owned. Not alot of improvement needed.

 

Chrome rocker panels would look good - I dunno if they still make em or what tho. I was thinking a set on mine but Id need some mud flaps then

 

Someone one Ebay was selling grilles.

 

Lund visor

 

yeah i would be interested in some chrome rocker panels if i could find some

 

Lund cab visors look good!

Aluminum wheels or chrome do so much for a first gen too! the stock wheels w/ the dogdish caps are so outta date to me. AKA ugly. IMHO

I'd say a 2wd first gen leveled in the front with springs looks good.

And a guy on ebay was making up 91-93 billet grille inserts.

 

Ah, but therein lies the beauty of it.

 

I edited my post. lol

 

Agreed. =D

 

Lund Moon visor, new wheels, tool box....for tools, bed rails, tint windows, keep the truck nice and clean, and like said above, enjoy the natural beauty

 

It is usually the little personal home-made details that make any truck really stand out, or little things like just painting all the various brackets in a certain color and applying tasteful flex-loom or braided stainless to all the hoses and wires.

One store-bought goody that is an exception to my usual rule is a genuine LUND visor; it is just hard to do better than their design.


My mailbox gets loaded with all sorts of "custom" truck parts catalogs and they are all the same = loaded with the same old "if you can afford it you can have it" cheap plastic-looking "no drilling required" junk that all the rest of the trucks you meet on the road will also have.


I think the owner-built stuff that I see in these forums is much nicer than that generic "everybody looks alike" mail-order stuff.

 

i thought you could buy that chrome rocker panel stuff in a roll type thing? i think i remember reading in a thread somewhere thats all it really is? correct me if im wrong though. i'd like to know

 

Heres some great advice... Dont total it like i did to mine on tuesday nigt.
