hey guys,whats up?? i picked up a 86 longbed a little while ago,looking to do some cheap mods(its my beater,take trash off and stuff)
so far,the bluish paint was all faded and oxidized,so i decided to flat black it.
then after that i said oh well and painted it the way is sits now,may do the rims all red instead of the way they are in the pics.

i lowered it on 3 inch blocks in the back and cranked torsions in the front. so far i have like 550 bucks into it,not bad for a truck for a 1 owner that has alot of work done(including a rebuilt motor just a year ago) just semi recently.

let me know what you guys think,eventually i want to do 4x4 bed and fenders and some wheels,then bag it. the bed inside is pretty rusted up.

ive been to hickory a few times,im coming from the tuner scene.
ive had a focus with nitrous,a 5.0 mustang with nitrous,i built up my brothers srt4 while he was in iraq(gt35r,now a dbb 50 trim should be close to 400whp,and the latest car ive had is a subaru legacy,but my fiance wrecked it this past monday,could be totalled,if so,should start modding the truck little by little.
