To start this off, SS is for step side, and I know thats not what most people will read it as at first..

Im from New England and still a student. I am still playing for this truck and do as much as I can to it when I have the time. Done everything myself and have many more plans.

Im going to try to start keeping track of my progress on here.

Dont remember why my tailgate was off but I plan to take some new pics soon, I have a few updates since these were taken that make a big difference.

Any comments, suggestions, ideas, questions, or whatever would be cool

Looks like a good clean platform to start with. What are your plans for it so far?? What are the specs for it?

 

Its a 1999 with a 4.6 v8

heres a quick list of completed :

new headlights + cornerlights
K and N cold air intake
AC compressor bypass pully...
Audio system HU+sub+amp+speakers
Grill / painted black
American Racing Rims
Full custom exhaust from a local shop
tailgate light bar


pretty much every single one has a good story. The more I look at those pictures I realize im missing tons of stuff. Im going to have some new ones up today

 

Skip the K&N and just do the gotts mod, its like 10 bucks for the parts and it'll have the same performance.

And clean looking truck man!

 

Thanks appreciate it

I just edited that post but the list was stuff iv already done. And like I said most have a story, and the K&N came installed with the truck when I got it.

 

Heres two quick pictures from my cell phone

some of the differences are:

painted the bumper black
took the trailer hitch off
tinted taillights
tinted 3rd brake light
painted rear window surround
switched the back window for a sliding window
undercoated tons of stuff underneath

i should clean it and take some real pictures soon

 

Nice truck and good start! I was in the same situation as you, I just graduated from school.

I like the way the front end looks, maybe a custom valance? Window tint is a fairly cheap mod and improves the look

 

Slam it and make it a Lightning clone!

 

good platform to start with! looks good!
