"Plain & Simple"
Just like the title says, my truck is basic, just plain and simple. I started with just wanting to refresh the interior...weld up some radio mike holes and repaint to match the exterior. The interior came out so great that I decided to paint the exterior and fill in several more hole that the fire department had cut for their equipment. After much time of sitting in the paint shop I finally got it painted.
I then searched high and low and finally found a six inch lift kit (all spring)from a member of this site. Great guy!! I installed the lift and tires 35x15.50x16.5 this past week. I hope you like the look as much as I do. Next is a new exhaust system...then maybe an upgraded radio system. Randy
