That is a nice truck....

Very nice. And clean, too!

I spent about 3 hours today cleaning the inside of the cab. I think I've got another 4 or so left.

Decided to try a polishing compound on the front bumper after deciding that soap and water wasn't helping. The results are good, so far.

I also got my hands on another decal for the rear window of the truck. I can imagine my mother yelling at me when I pulled up to the house in this thing. Then she'd ask to drive it to WalMart.

And I really like this pic, so I'mma save it in this build thread...

You know your bumper is better than mine. If you swap front clips let me know I would be interested in the front bumper.

I could do that.

I could do that.

Thanks mine has rust in it and it's hard to find a good bumper.

Rust is no good. I know how hard it is to find a good bumper. All of the ones online are usually being sold because of being banged up!

Yeah and the aftermarket bumpers are weaker than factory.
