Awesome ride! I love the stance of the truck and also those AR rims look good on it.

Nice buy too.

its solid red. and you cant tell from the pics but the hood needs a better clear coat. i want to put some pics of the interior too but it only allows for 4 pics. if i knew how to add more i would.

+1, Especially since the hood needs to be refinished aways ;)

ok so here is a few other pics...
yeah everything looks good but the motor. its dirty. i have bought allot of parts for it but just need more time to put it all on. oh and i need some advice on dropping the gas tanks. both gas tanks need to be dropped and have the tank brackets replaced but they both have these plastic covers on them that are a huge pain in the you know what. so send me a message on how to deal with those. thanks
