So being a manual... It has a shift light or is it a guessing game? I guess Im just wondering because every manual I have owned has had a RPM gauge. BTW Man, that is a sharp truck. Clean up the battle scar, and get to the modding!

shifting a vehicle without a RPM gauge is all a guessing game so to speak..after you have driven one for a while you will be able to drive one with out even looking at the rpm guage..i go by sound of the engine/speed
A computer to tell you when to shift is like a wife to tell you when to s**t ... some things either you know, or you don't

truck looks good man
mcolford- idk why but for some reason tachs dont get added to base models in any brand even with a stick. any good manual driver can tell just by how it sounds or feels.

wait! There's a big hairy rub mark above the rear wheel, - passenger side 
Need to fix that..
Edit - those concrete poles can be hell on the body. Is it dented in? If not, it's a pretty easy fix. Sw sells a good quality aerosol that will fix her up.
Btw the 4.2l is a dog of a motor. If it were my truck i would put a superduperturbocharger on a 5.4l and slap it in there with some 7.56 gears
