Looks good! You should update the foglights and taillights. When you get the bed you're going to repaint the whole truck?

Thanks!

87-93 Mustang GT foglights will work and I'm just waiting for them to come off of backorder and I'll throw the ultra clear's on.

The whole truck could use a repaint, but I don't have the money to do that right now. One of the guys up here at work that was a body guy for 30 years just told me he thinks he can pull the bed out and do a little fiberglass work and the bed would look good again. Going to buy a buffer after I leave work and see what I can do with the front end. The roof does need to be resprayed badly though.

TYC or DEPO headlights?


looks nice, can't wait to see it in person. Actually the rear pillar of the bed could be straightened, and put a new bedside on it if you dont want to replace the whole bed.

Come without a tailgate? Ive got an extra one without any hardware, its only slightly used

They are Depo headlights. I haven't heard of too many issues with them. I picked up the tailgate today after work. I'll see if it fits tomorrow.

Haha I'm not sure yet. Going to get all the body work done first and might drop it a little after that.
