Looks good for a work truck. Ever think about replacing that upper black bumper section for a paint to match piece?

I have thought about that as well as painting the flares. I like the black and white look(it was cheap and easy)with a little chrome on it. Wanted to get some black and chrome rims but only had 2 choices in aftermarket wheels since mine are the 7 lug bolt pattern. Thanks.

Thanks. There's still a few things I'd like to do to it, but I don't want to go overboard. It is just a work truck.

A unicolor body would look great on your truck. I see a work truck around town all the time that has eveything painted white. Mirrors, door handles, grille, everything.

Gotta say, that is one awsome lookin' truck!! Can't believe the transformation. Sure looks damned expensive though. You say you had the rear bumper painted? And if so, how much and how difficult? I really like that look, can't stand the stock bumper and don't want to go with chrome ones. Mine's just a work truck, so I don't want to sink to much money into it. Still need to get an Xcal ll for it. Would like to do the front bumper like your rear one as well, figuring it would save me the cost of buying one. Quick question, 6 lugs or 7 on yours?

I agree, that would be a good look, I just don't to put to much money into a work truck even though I know I've probably gone way over board already. I just responed to jblk74 and really like the look of his bumpers and will definately go that route. He's got that exact look your talkin' about. Hell, I've still gotta get a tuner for my truck. Thanks for the comps' guys!

Where did you find those wheel-wheel step bars?

Got them from Willmore Manufacturing through J.C. Whitney online. They were damned expensive though, $479.00 for the pair, but they were the only ones I could find for my truck. Willmore was pretty good though, they said they were made after I ordered them(custom) and when I got them they were too short for my truck. So I called them up and told them the situation and e-mailed them photos of the truck w/ the bars on it and after I gave them wheelwell to wheelwell meas., they made a new set and shipped them to me and told me to keep the 1st set even though I paid for one. Quick response from them and they're located in AZ. so they're closer to you than me, shipping is cheaper. Was 140.00 for shipping to me.

Looks good Mitch. Here are some pics of my work truck. Not done yet, it still needs tint, different mirrors and a few other upgrades. But so far so good.

Your truck looks great. The striping kit works great with the back handles and stock grille. I would tint the windows and maybe Depo the headlights. HD tails may work nice as well with the striping. I'd stop there to see what it looks like after. Changes like that can change the direction of the look dramatically.

I know there is no chrome on it but I bet some chrome wheels would really pop it. I think black wheels could be overkill with the rest of the black.

EDIT: Or maybe black wheels with chrome rims/edging.
