My truck so far has 2/4 drop with spindles and shackles.
SI-DO Flowmaster Exhaust.
K&N Filter.
MSD Wires, NGK Plugs
454 SS Wheels
Blue Metallic Paint W/ White Racing Stripes
Underbody painted all black



I really want suggestions as to what else I should do. I'm a college man, I can't afford anything crazy but I would enjoy some mild performance mods over time.

All suggestions are welcomed! (None offensive of course)

Looks good Robert!! One suggestion I could think of is getting a chrome smoothie front bumper, the reason I say this is because you don't have any moldings on the side of the body, so your front end would match that. Again very nice truck!!

Thanks! Yeah If I can find a smoothy I'll definitely do that. The rear will eventually have a roll pan if I can get the paint matched pretty close. Where did you find your bumper at?

I may have some luck down here. Very little rust down here, except when they ship them this way from up there lol. What tire size is on your truck? I like that look
