No need Reason why i'm so negative about mods Dose any one ever see any of these trucks that where in any or the trucking magazines or classic truck magazines driving on the road I don't all them mini trucks back in the 85--95 NONE reason why to many people put to many mods in to them to make them not work messing with and they get junked.All the trucks and car's that where left stock will be here for a long time.

Most of us in here when we find a truck that has not been touched we feel that we scored.

Now think if you found a 1971 Cheyenne and some one Put a fuel injected motor in it Put the computer in it shaved all the door handles and tail gate handle put roll pans in the front and the back did a full on Air bag ride where they hacked up the frame and the bed and Hacked the wire harness.Most of us would just pass it buy and say we don't want some one Else's project.

If that was true we be building the 1976--2005 trucks Now.I'm not one to find or buy some ones hacked projects.So keep them as close to stock with the good upgrades like

Power steering,Power brakes, Disc brakes A/C 700R4 poise traction Lowering it all these are wonderful upgrades that i like to find in a truck that some one has started.

But i say keep it basic if you want a new truck feel buy a new truck.I'm not one for shaved anything I've bought over 40 of these trucks from 1964--72 and I've junked 15 cabs from people and there stupid mods cost me more to fix it then it would to find me another cab.In about 5 more years these truck will be a thing of the pass and the 1973--87 will be the new truck to hack up

Whoa!! Did somebody wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
