Needs some work, but overall, it’s been more faithful than a Labrador.

Don’t let the pictures fool you, it has it’s imperfections.
I had it painted about four years ago, but the clearcoat is starting to come off and is ruining the paint finish.

It looked awesome after I got it back from the paint shop, but now I’m afraid I’m going to have to have it painted again. This is not the first problem I’ve had with the truck’s paint work. The chrome door and body trim started to crack and chip and had to be replaced.

I love my back glass flag, bought it from my cousin’s Truck Accessory shop.

Nothing much to see here, business as usual. Interior is pretty much all stock. Needs a new dash, door panels, trim, instrument cluster trim, the seat needs to be reupholstered. Some of the interior trim I think can be salvaged and reused. My goal, to eventually have it looking like the day it rolled off the assembly line.

Top the cab where some of the clearcoat is coming off, there are some small places where the clearcoat is starting to come off on the hood.  :(

Yep, they’re 33s

Tires: 33 BFG Mud terrains
Lift: 4" Trial Master suspension lift kit (my dad lifted it after he bought the truck from it’s original owner back in 1993 or so, if I remember right. Later he gave the truck to me after I got my license) I’ve been restoring it a little bit at a time ever since.

is it a 3/4 ton? how much lift is on it. i had one just like i but black. i still think a lifted one looks in ways better than a lowered and when ur in the air like that no one can touch you. if someone hit you its like a plastic bumpered hot wheel hitn a tank.
