Wow that's a nice one. I would change the wheels and leave it the way it sits. Congrats

The wheels are going to be the first thing to go. Also, stripping the paint off all the trim. It is in bad need of suspension work. I love the paint job though.

[QUOTE=OldGMJon;7156489]my favorite color...nice rig, what you gonna do to

The first ideas I had are new wheels.. probably rally or smoothies, needs new suspension as the last owner heat shrunk the springs, probably bring the ride height down a little more and add front disc brakes with drop spindles. strip the Grey paint off all the custom cab trim, and maybe remove the window tint.
