Thats a great truck. If I may throw my 2 cents in, If I were you I would first take a degreaser and pressure wash everything under the hood, also get the frame and under the body and then take a can of either tire shine or engine detailer(both relatively the same) and coat everything in it, all your belts, hoses, the block, just get it all and be generous, it will condition all the rubber and plastic let it sit over night and you may have to hit it in the morning too with more shine, and you can wipe all the excess and make it shine like the day it was born. Then get a heavy duty vacuum and get all the interior and use and all purpose cleaner and use a rag to get all the door panels, trim, dash, and all that. Now clean the exterior really well too. SEAFOAM! and there you have it! For $525 and about $30 in cleaner and you have A BRAND NEW TRUCK!!! Congrats!
