In the last few weeks I just installed a couple of items and wanted to show you guys/gals the before and after pics of the truck and see what you think. Other than the obvious parts I attached to the truck does anyone see anything else I changed/improved ?

BACKYARD88 · 06-20-2007, 06:02 PM

Steering wheel, dash bezel, rear bumper, new trash bag? Can't tell for sure but you might have gotten the rust off of the top of the tailgate too, or maybe got a new one. Looks like some good improvements, especially the trash bag

**Already Gone** · 06-20-2007, 06:17 PM

( but you might have gotten the rust off of the top of the tailgate too )

Close but no cigar !!

Imacarguytoo · 06-20-2007, 06:26 PM

You spiffied-up the mat and e-brake release,changed gear ratios,installed ramjet 502,inflated tires to 35lbs,switched-out the blue dot lenses with stock then put bluedots back.....definately changed trash bags.I like the old one,IMHO.

OlChev67 · 06-21-2007, 07:14 AM

new paint?

pink panther on dash is 4 degrees warmer and waving in second pic.

bowtieride · 06-20-2007, 08:24 PM

Almost looks like you filled in the stake holes?

BACKYARD88 · 06-20-2007, 08:40 PM

Alright, I've been staring at these two pics for a while now. What is it?!? The suspense is killing me

HeavyD · 06-20-2007, 08:46 PM

I really like the look with the new sport bumper!

Walts_restoration · 06-20-2007, 08:48 PM

retodd7711 · 06-20-2007, 10:38 PM

other neighbor added flowerpot to front porch

mvfd70 · 06-20-2007, 11:05 PM

I noticed the new headlight knob. And I must say that it takes a real man to drive a PINK truck. It really is a nice looking truck though. I kind of like the color.

Imacarguytoo · 06-20-2007, 11:59 PM

The grass is longer on the other side of the street. The grass is shorter on your side of the street.

mudmizer · 06-21-2007, 12:49 AM

JON70CST · 06-21-2007, 01:04 AM

sick69 · 06-21-2007, 07:13 AM

You changed the muffler bearings and the turn signal fluid?

BACKYARD88 · 06-21-2007, 08:43 AM
