Cosmetic Mods
You gotta paint that rusty steering box! I painted mine 2 days after I bought it.
How did the Hotchkis swaybars work out? Does it body roll less, and did it affect the ride? What about Hellwig, don't they make sway bars also?
Nice truck!

LightningTruck,
I went with the Hotchkis bars mainly because they are tubular (hollow). The helwig's are not much different than stock. The truck does corner flatter. A better bang for your buch would be a pan-hard bar setup. Do that first then decide if you still want the bars. For street driving the factory bars are more than adequite. Spend much less and get the pan-hard and urethane bushings.

I agree w/ everyone else. Everything looks good except the cowl. Go with a stock looking smooth one painted to match your truck. I especially like the viper seat mod. I have always wanted to do that bucket seat/expy console mod but didnt want to chop up the stock seats, this looks like a good alternative.
The seats weren't that bad. I used Ford brackets then made an adaptor plated out of 3/8" T-6 aluminum plate. I then bolt the factory Viper rails and seats to them. The seats move forward and back on the Viper rails.
