Default The unofficial before and after thread.

Forgive me if a thread like this already exists. Thought it would be neat to see whole trucks, wheels/tires, interiors, engines, new paint....anything.

Only stipulation is please show a photo what it looked like before and a photo after.

In process trucks are welcome too of course! After all aren't they all in process?

I'll start it out with my truck...No big surprise






Mike

Good idea Mike. Mine is still in process of course. Still need(waiting, and waiting) to change my heads and tails but I've done a lot in about 9 months.

Day I brought her home


Labor Day weekend heading to the lake. Lift, wheels and tires, bedcover, spray in bedliner, solar shield on the windshield have all been installed since I took delivery.

This is almost how I got it:



This is a few decades, several hundred thousand miles, a dozen wrecks, & a few hundred replacement parts later (including the body twice & the frame once):



I think only the front shoulder belts (literally) were original at that point. But it has changed a little since then...
