Few days after i purchased in first pic , how it sits as of today. I haven't had as much time here lately to work on it. Finally got a new bumper and passenger fender (decided i need to quit being cheap and pay up). Looks a little better. Not much bling but this is how i like em.

David Flores · 04-13-2008, 06:49 AM

Looks sick! Any more pictures?

Brianflores · 04-13-2008, 07:10 AM

Ya, it looks mean....

dieselarmy13 · 04-13-2008, 07:55 AM

No bling needed 'round here

oldblu65 · 04-13-2008, 11:27 AM

Badriand , it is looking " bad " in a good way ! Keep polishing that " gem till it becomes a diamond " ! Our old trucks don't need any more bling , they are " bling " enough on their own . ' nuff said !

joe231 · 04-13-2008, 04:32 PM

looks sweet, and I agree....we need more pics!

**ChiefRocka** · 04-13-2008, 04:48 PM

The stance looks good....primer is the way to go (IMO)

looks awesome

kdrodworks316 · 04-13-2008, 06:55 PM

lookin good man!

protrash64 · 04-13-2008, 07:06 PM

Not bad for a year........its getting there. Ive had mine for 7 years and have driven it only about 250 miles!! Get it drivable and its much more fun.

badriand · 04-13-2008, 11:08 PM

Thanks guys, i need to take some more pics - shot this one yesterday after i drove it around the block. It runs just don't have it registered, will be more fun when i can get it on the hiway instead and open it up. Need to get started on the bed and then adjust a whole lot of issues.

I have a shot of my shifter.

You've got alot more done than me this past year. Congrats looks good. BTW where did you get your fender from?

Iron-Butt · 04-15-2008, 08:04 AM

thanks guys.

Got it off ebay, cheapest price i could find. I don't care what you read from any site that says same quage as orginal it isn't (or at least doesn't feel like it , bumper either). Only thing i did not like was how light this reproduction fender was compared to stock.

badriand · 04-22-2008, 04:38 AM

Got a few more, Eventually will get me some better rims and some big white walls. Can't wait to get time to work on my bed , anxious to see how far down it is going to sit.

joe231 · 04-22-2008, 04:48 AM

nice!!

badriand · 10-29-2010, 09:56 AM

Been a while since i did anything. Had to put truck on back burner when my youngest son was born. My wife gave me permission to start working on it again.

Putting vent and side windows in hopefully this weekend and hopefully will have bed done after Christmas. Then possibly a color change.

62 Bowtie · 10-29-2010, 10:58 AM

Looks sweet bro hey is that just primer paint or what, in the pics it appears to have a sheen

badriand · 10-29-2010, 12:36 PM

cheap Paint , i just sanded it down with 1000 grit afterwards but haven't got back around to painting it again.

nhtc33d · 10-30-2010, 02:28 PM

You made more progress than i did my first year! looks good! I like those hubcaps! What are they from?

**Dan in Pasadena** · 10-30-2010, 06:40 PM

Looks good. You shouldn't be apologizing. There are only a few guys here that can call up CPP or others, drop a couple thousand and stand around waiting for UPS to show up...and I'm not one of them....DOH!

Your shift knob might look good with big red or green glass "eyes" in the skull. Try Michael's or a big craft store.
