Been a good while...
So it's been about a year or so since I've been on here. Kept in touch with most of you guys through Facebook, diesel events, and social media nonsense. I've been dabbling in gas stuff for a bit and still am. Kind of miss this place so I'm back. Been through a couple more trucks but finally have one that will stick with me til I croak. This was my grandpas truck, so the sentimental value is worth more than the truck will ever be worth.
It's a bone stock 24 valve down to the factory air box. 125k miles and on the original auto trans, engine, and all. It's a completely rust free rig. My grandfather bought it new back in 99 so I'm the second owner. I have done a ton of work to it in the short time I've had it. That includes paint, wheels, tires, and soon to be sport front end conversion. I have a few plans as far as performance is concerned but I probably won't get crazy with this one.
Here's a few pics of the before and after. It's still a work in progress.
I can't remember how to embed pictures in my post so if someone could help I'd appreciate it.

That is a good looking truck. That looks better than 90% of the trucks I see with way more money thrown at.

Thank you! Cost efficient was the plan from the beginning. I have about 1800 in my wheel and tire setup and 750 in my sport bumper and grille, which will be on the truck next week. Sometimes keeping it simple is better than going all out. Plus, I dig the stock/papaw look.
Here's a couple pics of what the paint looks like up close. It's pearl black.

Well, ya know, the house and work keep me busy so unfortunately my CompD time went bye bye. Especially after I sold my common rail. I guess I just needed a break for a while.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the newer 4th gen wheels but that truck pulls it off. Dig the stance by the way.
