Good deal, like sparky says what's next?

My personal taste, I'd lose the simulators - but that's just my opinion, I've never liked 'em. Painted steelies or real alloys are the way to go.

Nice looking truck; love the red/black. Does it look like the rest of the tape stripe will come off without a big hassle? I'd suggest the 3M Stripe-Off wheel but you have to be 100% sure not to use it on lacquer paint, which was still in use in the 80's to early 90's. The Stripe-Off works excellent on other paints with no harm t all, but it'll destroy lacquer.

thanks, yeah the stripe down the side doesnt wont to come off so thanks for the info on the remover, as of recent ive been doing some body work on it getting ready for paint, gonna go back with red and black color, got the headliner out getting it redone in black it was white, dash off putting infinity 3.5 speakers in and havent decided what size for the back of the truck. THe interior is clean and the truck is solid, no rust. Got to put a higher rear end gear in it, and looking to swap out the th400 for an overdrive i just dont know what tranny to go with. I would like to get some direct bolt on 22s for the dang thing but i cant see myself spending that kinda money on some wheels and tires for a truck just for show. Probably go with some clean 16s or some 19s, But in the future( couple of years maybe more maybe less) it will be bagged and bodied probably gonna go with Keefs custom rod and auto in Durant ms, he does excellent work. But by scrappin it should be painted and clean as a whistle.

Thanks. Yeah its got spindles, flip and i cut one coil out of the springs in the front. I tell you what, when i put on thos 225/60s it cut me back to about a 50mph top speed lol, it still has the 4.10 rear with the stock 454. It cost 7 dollars for every 14 miles i drive lol. i need to swap a jetta diesel motor and tranny over in this bitch
