As I worked on it I changed gear ratio from 4:11 to 3:42 and installed new gas tanks and new carpet, full kicker stereo and decided I wanted 16s for the time and ditched the simulators and painted the original wheels blue

During that time I decided to get the truck one solid color so I sanded the entire truck for days so I could lay a couple coats of epoxy primer and stumbled across some original 16" alcoa wheels and now it's current state is

All the doors have been rebuilt with new window motors, door lock actuators and all new rubbers from precision rubber and while doing that I re dyed door panels and started recovering the inserts

Plans are bags and ridetech control arms on front so I modified a set of lowers for the 1 ton ball joints
