Just bought a bunch of stuff. I got 4 aluminum rims with 3 center caps and 31-10.5-15 tires. 2 have about 50% tread the other 2 about 35% tread. I also got a lighted visor with all new lights and desnt tailgate a 92-96 fender. I didnt need it but it was just gonna get junked with the truck so why waste it has a little rust bad though same with visor was gonna get junked but i saved it. Also got tailgate cables and all lug nuts and a push bar but the bottom tube is damaged but im gonna mod it and put heavy angle iron on the bottom and cut out the bottom tube. It was all delivered too my house and paid $150 total. Did i do good.

I think you did really good. I haven't looked lately, but the last time I checked e-bay for a lighted visor, they were going for $65 to about $120. Figure $6 each for the center caps at the salvage yard (what I paid for mine) and $13 for each tire/rim. Fenders are $25, tailgates are $38. Those items would have cost me about $125 at the salvage yard ,minus the visor. Just don't find those anymore. The push bar is gonna need to have the bottom cross tube removed and replaced and you could have probably gotten one for $20 at the salvage yard in perfect shape. Other than that............way to go!

Im gonna rebuild the push bar im gonna cut off the bottom pipe and weld heavy angle iron. I thought those tubes were alot heavier steel but there pretty thin. He picked up at the same salvage yard he took the truck too. He was gonna fix it but he said never got arund to it.
