Ive been working on it here and there.  Ive been very busy with working at the large collision shop i work for, and doing restos out of the shop at the house so i havent been working on it as much as i would like.  Ive been going further with the body modifications than i originally planned to do.  Im going for a retro modern look, while still retaining the classic lines.  Ill get some pic up soon: Heres a few olders ones, but they are more recent that i have posted here.  I decided to shave the bed rail, i really like the look.              

What have you thought about doing to the rocker or bottom of the bedsides? I hate how they don't line up on these trucks. They look so sik when the bedsides are dropped down level with the rockers. I love how you shaved the bedrail. That drastically cleans up the look of these trucks.

bed looks alot better. i saw add to the bottom of the bed. or door it. my yota is the same way. but hell, its a longbed. who cares right?! lol.

Im way ahead of you on the rocker guys, that was the first thing i thought about doing even before i bought the truck.  The bed will get a "rocker" added onto it.  I dont want to give too much away, i guess you will just have to wait and see.  Just think smooth!!!!  

shave the cab wall and put a sub in. haha.

This thing is sweet

i know it's been awhile but I just wanted to ask whatever became of this. i love the truck!
