Re: i need ideas

I would change whatever you're not happy with...If you're on 4 valves I'd go to 8, fill times suck? hate comp noise? Get and EDC... and so on. It's not done until you think it's perfect!

Re: i need ideas

Very clean truck. Don't think it really needs anything, but if I had to think... Sunroof, tonneau cover, shave the gas tank and do a tilt bed, maybe suicide the doors or hood (if not done already). Maybe do a 94-97 front end swap and do a phantom grille (just think that would look pretty sick on your truck).

Sick truck! Sunroof and tonneau aren't bad ideas... Also, how is the interior? Sound system, etc.

Ive been thinking about a sunroof but everyone says they leak to much...
A tonneau cover hides all the work done in the bed...
I like the gas door still being there...I dont see why i should tilt the bed...
I cant suicide the doors because its a 3 door...
Why would i make the truck look older and cheaper...eveyone switches to the newer and better looking 2000 front end...

Re: i need ideas

Get a truck with a blown engine that hasn't been all chopped up and modified.take all the stuff from the green truck and put it in the new stock body.then crush what's left of the green truck.

That's what I do with s10s that have been Cnotched or body dropped when I buy them wrecked at auction.Ive crushed at least 2 compressors and 3 sets of bags so far.


^not what you where expecting? it's a idea probably not a good one tho,lol

Re: i need ideas

it needs airbrushing, pinstriping, or something to break up all the green. I think the first thing befor any show car is built is a theme only fast shop build to make some cash should be 1------- color everything.

Re: i need ideas

Not tryn to be a dick but why can't you come upn with your own ideas? Its your truck now. Personally I dont like giving ideas away cuz then its goes on someone elses truck and not mine. If your new to the scene look around at shows hot rods and rat rods probably have some good stlyin ques. Think about what you like. Don't be cookie cutter be origanal and different. I will say it would be a shame. To cut up that bed for some taillights. Maybe just do a led bar between the tailgate and rollpan.

had that been my truck i wouldnt have painted it looking like it is being as thats usually the final step. my only advice would be take it apart and go over everything maybe upgrade the brakes or electronics but thats your call man

Re: i need ideas

If you have drum brakes convert to disc
upgrade front brakes to a big brake kit
put led lights in the roll pan (why would you shave taillights, and not put anything in?!?!?!?!?)
you didnt show us the interior but im guessing it could be upgraded a lot
get an aftermarket front lower valence, and paint to match
paint wiper cowl

Re: i need ideas

It might have been tinted. Cuz leds are brite. Find a taillight you like and mold it in. New car/truck old car/truck. My point was be different don't be the norm. You can use pretty much any taillight and make it work. I thought you said it had nothing for taillights my bad.
