These pictures are newer, from when I put the topper back on it for a while.
This is from a while ago with the topper off and my whips on. This is how the truck currently looks, but it needs a real good clean. The paint is peeling pretty bad, but only above the pinstripe, so I plan on repainting it black above that stripe for good looks, and to stop the peeling from going down any further. I will get some new pics once it's clean, and once I get the rest painted.
This truck has been through so much, and I start and drive it every day. Needs some new rear tires from all the crazy driving and epic burnouts that I do, but other then that, it's an awesome truck. 156000 miles, starts and runs strong every day. When I bought it, it needed basically new everything. So far I have replaced:
Radiator and hoses
Brakes, calipers, and pads, all 4 tires
Tires (need a new set already)
Alternator
Battery
Spark Plugs and wires
AC Compressor
Water Pump
Shocks
Stereo with JVC aftermarket MP3 CD player, also when I bought it, it had a 6 disc changer that uses an FM frequency, which is still in there and works fine, even with the new head unit.
Right now it still needs a few small things, the heat doesn't work, and an exhaust bracket is loose, and the pipe right after the Catalytic Converter is about 3 inches off, and slips out under hard acceleration, so the truck sounds like it is running a straight pipe, and it is quite loud. Will post pics once I have newer ones. These was also clear signs of it overheating from the previous owners, who took terrible care of it, which I did not know when purchasing :S
3.9L Magnum V6 with.. I believe 170HP. I have put it through a shit ton, running into curbs at 45MPH, getting stuck and trying to rock it out going from R/D at about 5000 RPM, transmission still shifts smoothly and have had no problems from the truck. There is NO rust on the frame or the underside, there is only very minor rust on the at the bottom of the doors, and it's barely noticeable, especially since the truck is maroon. Still starts up and fires everyday, has never died on me, it did fail to start once, since the last owner wired a security switch under the front grill which rusted through, so the starter wire was completely disconnected, but once that was fixed, no problems from the truck.
Updates 9/29/08:
Got the exhaust fixed finally. Bought a pack of stickers to throw on it, and put them on. They look pretty good I think. I am working on cleaning the truck out because it is full of shit that I need to get out of there, and I am in the process of moving too, so I don't think it will get fully cleaned just yet. Will hopefully get some better pics of the truck with my NOT camera phone.
