I don't post much, but I have some pics of my truck hope you like them. There is not much done to my truck but still working at it and want to add a lift and tires next. Please comment on it good or bad as I wont take offense to negative posts.If you have any suggestions what I can do to make my truck better in appearance let me know

Thanks Pat in Manitoba, Canada

Looks good, man! The lift and larger tires will definitely set it off well. :thumb:

Looks nice. :thumb: Is that an aftermarket hood?

I think a lift and tires would look good too.

Have you thought about chrome or stainless steel step rails to go with your brush guard?

I think some fender flares would look good too. Either the factory black ones or the ones that come already painted, blue of course.

A GM-Trucks.com decal from DecalKing.com would look good too.

Your truck looks fantastic, I for one wouldn't go with a lift but Larger tires would look really nice with the right Rims Or even with the factory rims. Maybe some 285's or 305's would fill out the fenders really nicely.

Looks like you take very good care of your truck, you should post more pics if you get more.

Thanks for all the positive compliments!!

Tom the hood has scoops made by lund and are stick on. When they first came out I was one of the first to have them on here in my area. They sure seem to get a lot of attention especially with the 5.0 mustangs always taunting me to race.

As far as the chrome step bars this is also in the works by next year and if I could get a pretty good deal on some fender flares this would be an in thing for the truck. I have a friend at a GM bodyshop and occasionally some customers ask to have the fender flares removed on their new truck so he is keeping his eye out for a set for me. Don't know why they would remove them but to each their own!!

Randy just noticed we have the similar color truck!!

Looks good!!

Any problems with the tire and rim set up on the truck?

Nice setup! Can I have your trailer?? Let me know & I'll be right up to get it!

Seriously-how much does that trailer weigh unloaded and how does your truck do towing it?

Nice looking truck :thumb:

Hillhound with the problems I have been having with the "NEW" trailer I am almost ready to give it away but the payments come along with it. The trailer is an ultralite and dry it is 3100lbs & loaded I imagine around 4000lbs. It tows OK but would be nice to have a power programmer and a better exhaust as it can suck back some fuel with my heavy foot sometimes.

Sorry to hear about the trouble with the trailer. Maybe I'll avoid that brand when we go to buy ours...
