thankyou again for the nice compliments...i still have more pics to post when i get a chance, since last time i posted them i completely repainted and replaced the parts in the interior headliner included..now the interior id black and gray..and i also aquired every a/c part that was missing(meaning every part under the hood including the part in front of the radiator) and the best part is  it was all free..my cousin bought a parts truck and he gave me those parts..its all installed in my truck now and blows ice cold..next thin will be rhino line the bed..

Very nice, and that is some good prices, I wish I could find brand new wheels to fit one of my trucks for that much.
