    It's been a while since I've last posted. I figured it's time for some updates!!!

    Did a couple of things to the interior. Added a new steering wheel. $40 at the local swap meet. A custom upholstered bench seat from a friend's wrecked Ford Courier. Some 6X9's from a previous build. Lastly, a sweet ass 5 panel Wink mirror!!!

    Here you go pic whores!!!

    Bought some Astro Supremes for it but the tires are a little big so, I took them back off. They'll probably go back on when I get some smaller tires for them.

    Got the logo put on the tailgate cuz I couldn't find a one-piece back window!!!

    Put the 18's on one last time before they go to their new owner!!!

    It took, me getting rid of them, to get all the dents fixed in them!!!

    Oh well, there will be another set of 18's in this trucks future!!!

    This is just a temporary stereo!!! The 6X9's were collecting dust in my garage so I figured they would do until I get all my stereo gear rounded up.

    Pep Boys. I don't know if it's a nationwide franchise, but it's an auto parts chain.

    Im curious where did you get the fat whitewalls? I dont know where to get 17inch fat whitewalls. SD Yota always talks about your truck and I truly like the way its transformed.:waytogo:
