Restore kit for the headlights was very easy with great information. I got the stuff to do it at walmart. I have done it on several vehicles and works great everytime.

As for the wheels thats some of my dads doings from the 90s. I guess they were top notch american racing wheels then. Im wanting a new set but for now them are just fine.You would not think it looking at pictures of the truck but in my opinion it needs a paint job. I need to finsh waxing and then il load before and after pictures. The pics iv posted are before wax its amazing after wax.

Nice truck. Go ahead, get new wheels. Then you'll want more power, better handling... next thing you know you're surfing the net at 3 in the morning looking for the next mod that you have to have!

Oh well, welcome to the sickness.

That's a SWEET truck! I'm wondering why my cluster doesn't have the redline on the tach. It's nice to see what it finally is haha

If you ever wanna ditch those wheels, I'm sure I know of someone who'd take them off your hands for you

Look in the automotive department where the headlights and fog lights are. Its a headlight restore kit in a shiny little package about 10 inches high and 6 inches wide. I forget the name of it. But it has 3000 and 4000 grit sand paper in it. You take 4000 grit and lightly wet the surface of the headlight lense and sand around it for scuffing all the surface. Then wipe that off and do it again with the 3000. Then you will take CV1 package and wipe it on evenly. Then let it dry a couple minutes and then go back With CV2 and do the same,BUT make sure CV2 is put on in smooth slow passes because its the clear coat finsh!!! Man if I can do it anyone can do it. Its extreamly easy and wow it works so nice. Il post before and after pics in a bit for ya.

The wheels are gonna have to stay on it for now guys! I got to get the truck out on the interstate today and she done lovely. First time shes been on the highway in 8 years.

like the truck man. is the 4th gear overdrive? or is it just me. the color looks good and so does everything else.

i will agree with you on the head light kit, i used one on my dads car cause they were so faded and it works great. wish it would do a little better but at least i can see better.


P.S.
Put me in line for those rims if you decide to get rid of them
