That is a nice truck. The only thing I would do is get rid of the running boards and drive it the way it is.

It looks like the SPID on the glove box door doesn't have very many options with the radio delete and "standard" engine . . . do you have a picture of the SPID ?

Re: Guys I bought a new toy plz read need help!!!

The whole "rat rod" fad I hope is on it's way out... I wouldn't "rat rod" anything.

Keep it the way it is. Lower it, toss some decent rims and tires on it, and BAM... a super nice truck that will turn heads.

Re: Guys I bought a new toy plz read need help!!!

I would lose the running boards and replace the rear bumper with a sport bumper. Clean and detail it. Throw on some skinny white walls and a 4/6 drop. Then I would install my elbow on the drivers door and burn the road up........
