Finished up with body work.
Getting things all primed up
preparing new Valance & Bumper
Next step on next day is to finish up little thing and then start the 400 grit wet sand

 

coming along nicely, cant wait to see the finished product! keepem coming.

 

Thanks. Its been a blast I love this truck. Like I stated in first post I bought it new in 2000. has around 130k miles on it and I think if it came down to it and its just so old where no matter what and I couldnt do nothing to revive her I would park it out in the yard heheh.

Anyways its been alot of work doing all this too. It will be in paint shop by wed. After that I will be putting on new aftermarket 16 inch rims.
BushWacker Fender Flares. Big O Tires. Im partial to big O and there warranty. AfterMarket HeadLights / Tail Lights. I think im also going to go ahead and have it Rhino Lined also. I think after all that it be pretty sweet again.

From reading around on here. I might even start to dip in performance wise and put one of them throttle boddies bored out and some of those 1.7 rockers in.

Anyone else have any other suggestions.

Appreciate your kind words Tristatehunter

 

perfornamce wise...youve probably heard that it was for the 5.2L and 5.9L...their really isnt any good aftermarket parts for the 4.7L

a performance chip and a set of good cams would be killer

 

Day 8

Everything All primered up.
Evertyhing all wet sanded.
Ready to go to paintshop wed.

 

if i were you..id take out the grill inserts...and get a billet one or doing a gutter guard mesh

 

Ok I lost track on what day I am on hehe. I know its been allot of work

Waiting On New Rims To Come In.
Waiting On Hood Emblem and Front Fender Emblems to Come In.
Here are the pictures.

 

Nice work man

 

looks good man... i wish i had the space/time to do that to my truck

 

Um... the 4.7 doesn't have rockers... therefore of course they don't make 1.7s for it...

But other than that. Looks good.
