OK guys i took your opions in to consideration and i do agree the lower one looks better but i just found out im the worst person in the country with bond. so im gonna line up to the top of the molding line. and the finders are gettin it where the old flares use to be, i just doin kno if im puttin them back on yet.

Now on a most distressin note my cab is totally ****ED im gonna cut a stip of metal and weld that on there then im gonna try and bondo the best i can. OH and lots of silicone is gettin cramed in under the window and the cab. Then im gonna prime and wait till i get money enough to paint Then save more money and look for another first gen..

remember primar is only good for so long then you need to reprime before paint.

here's another look. not the best pic, but you can see that there are two colors. she'll be flat black by the end of the summer though. maybe some white pin stripes where the red is now.

haha, yeah, these pictures I took turned out really nice, but the truth is she's not as pretty in person.

I've got quite a problem with rust on the lower half. This was a upper NY driven truck and has the salt stains to prove it. I'm in AZ now, so it should slow down the infection.

Add to the fact that I think she's a bit of a dog and I wish I kinda wish I shopped around more.

Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I have my issues

haha, yeah, you noticed that?

My jeep is behind the truck, the other two belonged to my old roommates.

My girlfriend has a Wrangler, the other roommates girlfriend drove a wrangler, and the other roommate owns 2 wranglers.

So at any give day, we had upwards of 6 wranglers parked outside the house... and of course my Truck was the daddy of them all
