Yeah thats what I am thinking, I should be able to order them in a week or two. Like I spent 50 bucks on the corner lights earlier, and I am stuck with them now. So i need to plan my choice out well.. 50 bucks is about a weeks worth of gas lol

Shoot, its about 3.40 where I live, about 3.80 for premium, and I don't like my truck to get down lower than a quarter of a tank so its usually aint to bad to fill up.

I dont think it can be buffed out. Its deep. When I saw it I was pissed. Like what is the point of keying a vehicle.

Default same truck



You池e doing a killer job with your truck manI dig the led's. I justpicked this same tuck up for 2600 in white, not as good of shape as yours butI知 getting her back together. I値l try to get some pics up this weekend. Haveyou had to get any factory parts for yours yet? I知 having a hell of a timefinding things for mine. I致e been looking in junk yards but not much luckthere. It needs a new front bumper but all I can find are f150s and I知 notsure if they will match up. Maybe you could help me out with the ideas I havefor mine soon.

You mind me asking how much the flow master ran you I知 in need of a fullexhaust as well.

Thanks! I appreciate it, the flowmaster cost me a few bucks shy of 400. That included the muffler, pipes ran to the back, with 2 stainless steel tips. I dont know if that is expensive or not, but I went to that guy before and he knows his stuff. All i told him is I want it too sound like it looks and run the pipes to the back that will look good and last. He did just that.

Im pretty positive the front bumpers are the same as an F150, however I am not 100% sure. Let me know if you need anything, I am here to help. Keep me updated on it.

Its a flowmaster, with five inch stainless steel tips.
Look in to the Carolina dump style. The pipes come out at 45 degrees Ish and they look sick. But nice truck
