    Good day all,

    Although I'm not finished yet, I thought I'd jump in the fray and let you all see my budget build. I drive about 150 miles a day to work and back, so I wanted something cheap on gas and reliable. Anyways, let me know what you all think.


    THis was day 1, about 5 hours from where I live.

    And here's a few after the lowering and paint job I gave it.

    13 hours and 12 spray bombs later, it looks like this.

    Needs some touching up, but better than the visor holes plugged with silicone, gigantic 3rd brake light, and flaking front fender. Also installed the Truxedo tonneau cover.

    Still to come are: Pictures with the better tires (225/55/R17 Dunlop runflats), the spray liner, new windshield, paint touch ups, and stereo.

    I work at a truck accessory shop in Edmonton, but
    we ship everywhere. Usually these Truxedos cost about 650 up here, but I paid 550 for mine.
    I got the low pro one, and love it. Its my fourth Truxedo ever owned, and wouldn't have
    anything else.

    I have a hard time calling my truck fast though. I have an OBX
    Header, no cat, Pacesetter exhaust (soon to have a Magnaflow XL
    Muffler), and a cold air intake. EGR and PAIR delete are next.
    My fun vehicle is a 77 Nova with 400ish hp though, hence why the
    Truck feels slow. At least it's a 5 speed!
