I love this truck!!!! Looks like it held up nicely. Any plans on painting the grille and mirrors black?

I have thought of painting the bumpers and grill black with the 95+ mirrors but then I would still have the polished wheels and no budget for new wheels. Once cleaned up I still like how the chrome looks with the camo too. Only plans are a tool box for the box to hold some more stuff, the regular cab can get growded with guns and gear in the fall.

I know that feeling all too well. And there is literally no storage in 88-94 trucks unless you have buckets and a center console.

After owning my 88 and 02, both of which are regular cab stepsides, you have NO idea how useful a extended cab longbox is.

The center console does help alot with storage in the reg cab granted mine is not a large as a OEM one can still get alot of little things in there. To think I sold the nice buckets and console out of my ext cab! The extra room inside is what I missed most about my old ext cab.

Thanks! The rockers werent lined, just some rubberized rocker gaurd, it held up alright, only did it the once.
For alot of highway driving I would stay with the 4.56 gears and 35's. Since I hardly drive my truck on the highway and see more offoad I wish I had gone with the 4.88's but for now its not worth the swap for me now.
