    I guess I could update this...



    So one day I was filling up at a local station and a kid in a dumped acura pulled up for gas across from me. He told me he liked the truck and asked if it was for sale. I thought a second and told him sure it was, $1200 takes it. He took my number saying a friend was looking for a truck like that etc.

    The very next day the pilot bearing seized leaving the house so I floated the gears like I do in my semi and drove to my brothers place to use his lift. I figured if I was going to sell it the lce header and w58 were staying with me. So in went a no name header and w45 4 speed.

    As the truck was sitting there torn apart my phone rang. It was the acura kid wanting to look at the truck! Damnit I didn't think he was serious! :lol: I got the truck back together and his buddy bought it the next day. He promptly blew it up. :ROFL: I know the guy that has it now and I'm working a deal to get the centerline wheels back now. :D

    Those wheels looked really good on that truck, do you know offhand the offset and tire size?

    Rear was 195/60/15 and front was 205/50/15 and the wheels are 15x8's with 3 5/8" or I believe -10 offset.

    I've been looking for that front Clip forever. I want to swap my front end.( fenders, hood, bumper, headlights and grill.) To that two headlight setup. I love those front clips.
