Yeah some paint, with fresh wheels and tires would make a world of a difference....Will a 97 interior match my 92? I found a parts truck with a grey interior but its a 97...

Do you think cranking the front end would be all right to match the rear?? Theres no lift on it I just want to bring the nose up level...This is how its sitting now......I dont know if you can tell from the pic how much lower the front is

Its not going happen anytime soon but I'm really into the short stacks and tire carrier on this ford, and this front bumper light bar setup in the other pic....With the truck being a single cab I think huge stacks would over power the trucks looks, I really like the short stubby turned out look...

Well how about a suspension lift then?? Some offset radiator mounts shouldnt be to hard to do because I got welding courses on Wed's so I pretty much have access to free metal, machines, and welding....I've already been thinking of some kind of lower air scoop to get cool air up into the engine...
