This is a thread I have been thinking about doing for some constructive criticism. Its a slow steady progeress.

You will have to work with me on the pics im still learning.

Good looking truck, what are your plans?

The pic up right now is how it looks after about 5 years of me working on it. It has a 355/700r4 with about 1000 rebuilt miles on both. Hooker comp headers with dual flowmasters. 4inch lift with 33s at the moment. More pics of the progress soon.

The carpet was beyond rotten and quite literally falling apart. The plan is have it done in bed liner by the end of the month.

They are really loud and annoying inside with no carpet.

The plan is to solve that with a few 6x9s and a JL W7

 

[Deuling]

How much bedliner did that take?

1.5 gal. Which was half of the kit. Got a pretty good thick coat.

Dont buy Herculiner or that duplicolor crap.

How is the road noise?

How is the road noise?

I put carpet back over, but I imagine damn loud without it.

 

[83 BLZR]

Got some paint on the back bumper which as you can tell from previous pics looked like someone welded the scrap pile to the back of my truck.

The dark patch from the bolt hole is suspected to be WD40

Doesn't look great but its a sight better than it was.

it's getting there
step at a time man, keep truckin

also, I run without carpet, just a rubber bedmat. Running the rubber makes a world of difference. After putting in a full rear piece, I just chopped up some pieces for the front and passenger feet areas. So much quieter and slight less heat.

Thanks man. I am going to bedliner the interior. depending on the sound i may throw some carpet or rubber insert over it.
