Looks good I love the grill and lights. Question do you have the alpine sound system? I am asking cause I want to replace my speakers and I was wondering if I needed to do anything special.

thanks, and no, i built mine from scratch, new deck, actually wired each speaker to the amp, 6 alpine type rs, and two subs, but i do believe you can get a new wiring harness from the factory connection at the speaker or you can cut it an solder, but alpines have weird pin connections, so i had the wires soldered

Nice looking truck man. Why was your grill peeling so bad before? Did you paint it black prior to redoing it?
