Great looking truck. If it were mine, I would keep it simple:

remove the cap and the front mud flaps
L heads and corners
Silverstar bulbs in the fogs
crank the t-bars in front, and get either blocks or AAL for the rear
a nice magnaflow/dynomax exhaust si/so exiting in the stock location
16x10 rims with 305/70/16's

exhaust and wheels/tires can wait, all the other stuff is inexpensive & easy.

enjoy!

Thanks! That's pretty much my plan. My first expenditure of money will be to swap the doors and rockers for the rust free ones. Then come the lights and other stuff.

Well, in the process of trying to sell the cap, and I removed the front mud flaps. Would y'all recommend getting a tuner first or exhaust and that kind of other stuff first?

That's what I was thinking. What's your recommendation for something that has a nice rumble that gives that good V8 sound but does not have to be overpowering?

A dynomax bullet or magnaflow magnapack would be good. 14" since you have stock cats.

Sounds good! As a note, I will just continue to use this thread as my "upgrade thread" instead of starting a new thread, or maybe I'll just make an "upgrade thread" once I really start upgrading.
