what would you guys do...i can get more photos if y'all want

 

Rims, Tires, Tint the front windows, Billet Grille, some F-150 mirrors with PTM caps, new head and tail lights, side window deflectors, maybe a chrome accent bar(unless you would prefer a side step, but most here don't like those.) That should get you started.

 

front windows are tinted state-legal 40% .... i would go 5% all around but dont feel like getting a ticket

 

Ah, sorry, didn't look like it had any tint, our limit is 35% on front and 20% on the rear, but ive seen people with 5% or darker on the sides and at least 20% on the front windshield.

 

How many dollars do you have to throw into this project? Also, what do you have on your mind so far?

 

I was going to ask about budget...but i figured since he didn't tell i would just start naming stuff off. My guess is he's going for an off road look as opposed to a street look...hasn't given us much info to work with though.

 

im going for an offroad look...i'm more worried about functionality before looks....i have 178,000 on it and its completely stock. my parents dont want me to do anything to it, but im trying to fix that. what would y'all consider too much to put into a truck this old?

 

It all comes down to how long you plan to keep it and how "close" you want to get to it. With enough money and effort it could be an amazing truck; one that you will never want to get rid of, it's all up to you.

I had a mustang before my pickup and i didn't put a lot of money into it when i got it, so by the time i felt i should start buying things for it i didn't feel it was something i wanted to keep around for too much longer (if it had been a gt, that might not have been the case) but now that i got this truck I am going to start putting money into it as soon as I can (once summer rolls around and i get back to work) because i feel it's something I will enjoy spending money on and making my own.

 

yeah i want to keep it for a long while. im going to commute to a college about a half hour away next year but then im transfering to a college about 1 1/2 hours away and my parents dont want a truck that would break down on me or give me trouble.

 

Well if it hasn't already been done, maintenance should come first, oil and filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, coolant, tranny/diff fluid, etc.

 

yep this truck has always been maintained regularly and we have had 0 trouble with it what so ever.

 

Then let the upgrades commence!!

 

Paint the grille black number one. Numbr 2 xlt mirrors. And a new valance.

Wheels are gonna be hard since you have the 7 lug wheels but the first two are a very good start

 

Billet Grill, PTM Surround, Lightning Heads and Corners, Tinted Tails, Wheels, Tonneau cover and Lower it.

 

I like a lowered truck as much as the next guy but he said he's going for an off road look, just an
