so i introduced myself & my toy in the newbie welcome section,i figured i'd start a thread for my toy since i'll be making some future mod's little by little,one day at a time but surely.




1st mod,a must have

 

Looks like a very clean Ride!

 

Welcome

 

Nice ride...keep posting those pics

 

Nice and clean chelu.Hows the interior.

 

That was my trucks original color...grey....I wanna go back to it

 

thanks prim,interior is pretty sound. just a line of rip on the headliner & dash which i will replace,want to get some bucket seats.also i noticed a small leak under neath the glove box,i'm thinking maybe plugged drainage but i don't know yet we'll see..

yea it's a pretty solid color,i kinda want to go the original creamish beige color on this one.

 

A common leak area at least on my trucks it that grill panel at the bottom of the windshield that catches the runoff and is supposed to run of to the inside of the fender but on mine it starts rusting right on the end where it spills out and allows water to run down inside the truck on the outer kick panels.It's a tough spot to patch too.I think that was my stock color too.

 

Deng for reals, yea makes lots of sense well then looks like i have some welding/patching to do.we'll i'll try & pull that cowl of if i can get in there or hopefully maybe the inner pillar behind the fender,but thanks again bro big help there

 

You have to remove the fender to got to that spot chelu.

 

2nd mod: 4X4 fenders and lower valance to match your bed, love that look on the 84-88's!

 

deffinetly a 2nd mod,always wanted to try that lowered 4x4 style look,yes they look sharp.

oh ok,yea i will do that..hopefully it's an easy fix,

 

I'd say do a spill down test before taking everything off because it's kind of a b!tch.You gotta remove the bumper to remove the fender then the hood and that panel.Sucks!Might just be a minor thing.That truck looks cherry.I don't think that would be rusty but you never know till you look.Shoots.

 

leche prim,now your scaring me lol,yea i'll check it,esta!

 

Super clean!

 

thanks bro! yea you know these toy's they last forever,gotta love em.

 

got me some rims,just got done getting polished.gonna get some tires then drop it.

 

Damn, always love polished turbos. Nice.

 

thanks braddah,takes some work but looks pretty good in the end. all i need now are some chrome center caps,hopefully someone out there can give me some info on where to find some.

 

I saw a dudes truck where he used beer cans as his center caps.He opened it from the bottom to make it look like an un-open beer can and flared the bottom to make it hold when he tightened down the lug nuts.It stuck out about half of the can.It looked cool.Rims look cherry BTW.
