thanks guys...i really miss that truck, but i'm glad to have my '03 scab now.
here's a pic from back in july; since this pic i've added L headlights/corners, billet grille (which i plan to replace with an L grille...just don't look right on the true blue), i've removed the 2" front coil spacers, and i've had the lower valance painted to match. i'm soon going to level the rear, put the L grille on it, maybe get a ptm bumper instead of the chrome and have the whole bumper painted blue including both valances...not sure yet on that one.
i'll try to get it cleaned up on one of these warm days and get an updated pic.
here's a phone pic of the updated front end...minus removal of the coil spacers

that was before i had the tip welded on. now it has a 2" by 5" stainless steel tip. i will try to post a better pic when it gets nicer out and the wheels are on and handles are painted.

THATS all you got?
It has a great look to it what you mean thats all you got!
Something about those wheels and the stance and the red make that truck look really really good. The photo angle looks great too.
You mentioned getting the PTM handles,
find some non stx dumbo mirrors and have them painted and that truck will be set!

i feel you on that one. I didnt like the sport mirrors or street scene.. they were too small looking and the original XLTs didnt look too hot to me either.
I decided on Expy mirrors custom mounted. I think they look the best on these trucks. more of a sporty look, no big flat frontal area, and still big enough that they have a great view to the rear. Turn LEDS, heat and puddle lamps are a plus too.
