Clean truck, but imho too much white...
Needs some accent color to really make it pop....

Of course this is just my opinion...

Any way you cut the cake its still a clean truck.... Looks good Chris.

That's the reason I went with blacked taillights and gonna go smoked head lights. Rather than clears.

that grille really looks great now. I think the white looks good with blacked out tailights. the msd parts look good, maybe some chrome valve covers now?

i'm gonna hold off on doing anything under the hood until it needs an engine... but i'll clean it up eventually..

It's a different look...

Sweet.....

 

[5.0Flareside]

i've discovered the cause of a little bit of top end noise on cold start ups.. believe its due to a worn timing chain. so that will also be happening here soon.. maybe a camshaft and lifters to if needed...

^^^If you're that far in...may as well go ahead and do it. With as good of a truck as it is...I don't think I'd go too radical seeing as it's your dd.

im most definatly not.. its gonna be a very small cam..

for the reason of it is a DD..

and also i may not do a camshaft.. it may just stay stock.. but idk yet.. thats something i'll think over and decide later..

Good choices. Are you going to change the calipers?

 

[5.0Flareside]

nope.. no need too... factory calipers are just fine..

 

[5.0Flareside]

blacked out the cargo light.....

 

[conanski]

Oh.. it needs a camshaft alright

You wouldn't believe how much of a difference this one simple change makes, and your truck is all setup for it with 4.10 gears. That should be a roller motor as well so you only need the cam.. which would be the Comp 35-512-8 if I were suggesting. This is a hugh jump over stock but it's still not that radical in the big scheme of things and won't upset the EFI system, so the truck should run like stock except that it'll make a ton more HP.
