    I'd say, keep the rust. Spend money on the drive train. Rust looks slower, and is actually faster because it weighs less than solid steel. I love that truck no matter what! seriously, it's giving me some inspiration for mine....however, I tend to go overboard with some things. especially loud things...under the hood....and clicky things that go "PSSSHHHHHHHH" at the push of a button.....:evil:

    needs clear front corners, not the clear stock style lenses, but crystal clear with diamond cut reflectors. The orange breaks the silver/chrome from being a solid front wrap.



    Also, and I've said this before.....

    MORE REAR TIRE!!!!!11!111111:evil::D

    dope truck other than the rust. Looks cleaner without the decals. Im not diggin the two tone paint but doesn't look too bad. How does it ride with just cranked torsions for the front? Did it throw your alignment off after cranking?

    it rides alright i guess. a little rough but its expected. im pretty sure my alignment is bad..never really did much about it though.

    thanks, yeah im glad i found a used valance. next? i hope to get some side drafts, put a 5 speed in, and maybe start bodying it.

    yes, i run it with no filter.
