    Fairly new to the forum, and to modifying/restoring pickups. Here's my '91 that has needed a little refresh for quite some time now. Plans are to tackle as much as I can, minus the body and paint.
    Original owner, 200k+ miles and still runs solid. Aiming for a clean resto-mod which will go another 200k :) Anyways, enough talk here's some pics.

    First thing I did was get to the dirty engine bay... Back in '05 Mom borrowed the truck and went on the fwy. We think she was in 3rd mistaking it for 5th. :( So the top went pop.

    It's amazing what a pressure washer and some elbow grease can do.

    Got some new wheels and tires for a good deal. I like the meaty look, so I went for a fatter tire.

    16x7 +38 Enkei Compe
    1.25" spacers
    215/60/16

    Saving up for a mild 2" drop all around so the fenders sit just above the tire...

    Holy schnike!! That's pretty close to the same truck I bought last year! White xtra cab and that pinstripe. But mine has the molding down the body line and a LOT more dents in it! lol.
