Here she is when i got her on March 12th 2012.


Other than some dents and surface rust, and a tear in the seat, this truck is perfect.

Do you have any plans for it? My grandfather has a 98 just like yours, and my grandmother has a 94 short bed standard cab two wheel drive.

No major plans yet. Just keep her stock. I am installing my CB radio and a tool box, though.

I do have ideas for the future. Maybe ill get a dual exhaust system, headers, a programmer, 6 inch lift kit, Pro Comp off road tires and wheels, Pro Comp skid plate and thats about it for me. Maybe some small things here and there. Im not going to go all crazy with it.

Very nice. My dad has an '89 and I love it. Single cab with long bed. I prefer your bodystyle so I want to swap but he likes the older front so I cant do anything about that. They're fast though.

Looks like she needs a little TLC....

I like the interiors on these but I prefer the 98-02 exterior styling better. I agree on duals and wheels. Not sure about a programmer or a lift though. Maybe, but not a 6-inch.

You can get the new bodystyle like mine and i believe the old grille and lights will swap in just like a 90-91 and a 92-93 CB7

She is fine as a daily and especially what im doing with it. Im doing landscaping now.

Im the same but this is about the newest i could afford. im going to use it to off road with my friends sometimes and with the tires i want im going to do a 6 inch lift. MAYBE a 4 inch if i get smaller diameter tires. Programmer and shift kit is a definite lol

Why is the body so fucked?

It was a farm truck. Its all fixable. easier than rust. i never want to fuck with rust ever again.

Nice house...

Oh, I mean truck. Or, did I mean nice house, and truck too.

Point proven.

CK's are great trucks. I've got a couple buddies with some modded ones.

[acefighter028]

yep

uploaded from my computer so the quality is rubbish.

Looks good. I saw a set of those rims on CL and thought about getting them for my dad's truck but they're 6 lugs and my dad's truck is 5 lugs(1989).
