Nice! I like the smoothie wheels and A/C.

Thanks. At first I didnt really like them but they're grown on me. I haven't even gotten to use the a/c yet. Heater works great though! Once the temp gauge needle starts to move it can get toasty real quick.

New stereo
Not pretty but it works:)


Im trying to think of a way to install this speaker. I have another one that isnt installed yet. Need some more speaker wire. I cant install it in the dash where the 4x10 is cuz theyre like 6.5's so it doesnt fit. maybe a speaker enclosure under the seat kinda like the one in back.

Here is my new tach.


The front bumper before paint


After paint


Back bumper after paint




I used rustoleum black low sheen spray paint. $5.49. Had a can in my garage but needed another for the back. I think it looks good. When i do my grille swap to the late 1st gen ram cross grille im thinking of painting it black.

Well today i painted the side mirrors and the hood emblem. Last month i fully blacked out the grille. I also painted the passenger floor pan black after i took care of the rust. The driver side still in progress.

Heres a closer picture with blacked out grille and mirrors

That is one sharp truck for the how old it is. Was it on a military base? because all the trucks I see like that spent there lives running up and down runways at old cold war bases.
Then again Washington probably doesn't need to salt the roads as much depending on where you are at.

Thanks. This picture is actually befor i got the new plates, i live in Oregon. It used to be an Oregon Government truck. You can still see the outline on the doors from the stickers it says" United States Govenment GSA Interagency Motorpool For Official Use Only". I have no idea what that means. I got it from a guy up in washington who had bought it from the state at an auction, he only had it for a year before he sold it to me.

Nice! That speaker box behind the seat looks familiar... because it's the same one my son bought me! I put mine in the same place.

Nice! I got mine from my moms friend, i used to do yard work for her and she was cleaning her garage and said i could have the blaupunkt speakers along with the ones in the box and deck. The ones in the box are pretty generic. The kickers i think should have an amp cuz they dont put out much bass with the new head unit with bass turned all the way up.

It looks like you removed the computer on the air cleaner
