Your truck has lot of potential, and i'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. The greatest thing is that all of the things you've photoshopped can be done in your garage, minus the wheels/tires.

Good luck

Should look good. What wheel/tire size are you looking to run? 2wd, 4wd?

ASAP!!! haha well i need to figure out what to do with the Chrome Grille shell/bumper belt-line/mirror covers because i cant paint over chrome because it will chip. and then i just need to save some money for wheels/tires, Head/tail lights and a small lift. but im going to level it before anything.

you might try searching for an oem painted one at a yard, flea market, craigslist, or ebay and repaint it and maybe even get you a grille that you like in it. also see if someone with painted ones on local craigslist wants to swap the mirror caps or you can strip the chrome on them.

the bumpers need to be blasted and powdercoated to be done right, or lined

and how big do you want to go in the end? i thought a level would be fine but ooo boy was i wrong. might think about saving the cash now and doing the full lift you want at once. even the daystar will cost you about 200 installed and then your gonna want bigger tires. (40 spacer + 50 camber bolts+110 lifetime alignment)
