well it all depends on what style you like... thats the thing about these trucks... you can do anything relatively cheap and if you dont like it you can change it... all depends what look you want....

You know what, I got lucky. I got the truck the way it is. But the truck been sitting outside for a while and there is so much rust. I pretty much have to replace every fender and the cab is just as bad. well is that lucky ???
