I had checked them a couple of days before but a cold front came through that morning. Shoulda checked them again...

I do want to pick it up a bit. Was considering a 4 inch lift and 35's but also tossing around having the springs re-arched a couple of inches.

The stacks.... I LOVE EM. 4" turbo back to 5" mitres. And nothing sounds like a 12v with stacks walking the dog!

Thanks Brandon, only thing that that was done to it was the wheels and tires and stainless rocker panel trim, tool box, stacks and bedliner. Everything else is original. I did repaint it the same factory color in 2000. The fella that painted it did a good job and its holding up really well.


Thanks to all for the compliments. I love the old truck. Its gonna go to my son when he starts driving (few years for that though).

There is a quite a story that goes with it too. Dad bought her brand new in December 1989 when I was 8 years old. He gave her to me in 2001 when he bought his '02. In 2003 I got a severe moment of stupid, caught the new truck fever and traded her in. I regretted it almost immediately.

Long story short, in December of 2007 I got married. My then to be new bride hunted down the truck and suprised me with it as a wedding present. I finally got her back after a 5 year hiatus. The fellow that had owned it in the meantime took exceptional care of her and didnt want to sell until my wife told him of the circumstances. Needless to say, shes staying put from now on. Ive had substantial offers but the sentimental value is priceless. Most of my best childhood memories revolve around that old truck and learning to drive and pull trailers and such.
