I bought my truck heavly modded for about 5 grand above market value.

so with it I got

22" chip foose speedstre wheels. ( stock wheels back on at the moment)
kooks long tube headers with cats and magnaflow exhaust. ( Magna flows soon to be changer, perhaps Bassani )
It's been lowewred ( slamed) so I raised the rear 2 inchs.

The moter has been rebuilt with a forged bottem end, heads ported. and valves done.
The stock blower was swapped for a Magnum powers. idler relocate. * 8 pound metco pully ordered.. Hurry up ups.

Tranny has been done with 2,500 stall comverter and driveshaft loop.

I swaped the grannitelli coil packs as they were not all firing at high rpm.
electric fans, cobra alternator.


BBSC brakes . they suck. going back to the stock calipers but slotted disks instead. BBSC will take 4-6 weeks to make a lightning rotor.

swapped the hard cover for the stock soft bed cover.

I guess in all I have spend 5 grand up front and about another 1,200 in my own changes.

For all that has been done to the truck by the old owner, I figure he spent well over 20 grand.


I got lucky

HIDs heads and fogs, wiring harness = ~200
Complete stereo w/ electrical upgrades and sound deadening = ~ 1500 (just for parts, installed/installing all myself)
Niteshades = 20
toolbox = 400
Original Flowmaster Exhaust = 350
Roush Offroad muffler = 100
K&N FIPK2 = 270
Xcal2 = 150
Troyer Tunes = 150
Gun Rack = 50

Only things left to do (besides finishing the stereo install) is remote start/alarm system and 4.88 gears. Then im done with this truck.
