Somebody (Gino) was giving me grief today for not posting on here for a while......so here is all I got!

 

I sold that "pansy F-150" I had and decided to fix-up that ol' F-250 I had layin' around. This is the one I tried to sell last year and nobody wanted it.......glad they didn't 'cause this truck has really turned out nice! I tried to do before and after pic's of my little "restoration" project.....but most of the things I fixed or cleaned or painted really can't be seen in the pic's so they aren't very dramatic, but here's what I got......

 

 

Before...

After....

Before anyone gives me any grief........I am all out of CWT.com stickers, otherwise there would be one or two on this rig already :P Thanks, JIM>

Yeah, I sold the "pretty" one......It just couldn't hold up to the amount of offroad and haulin' that I do. This is the Diesel with the Banks and it'll be alot better for what I need.....Although I really don't need all the sub-woofers in the back seat and I really don't need to be "thumpin'" down the backroads.....so the stereo system is getting down-sized ;)

Looking Good, with the Pimp Daddy rims there Jimbo!!!!! ;) :lol: The under side of that baby is lookin' good too! You ought to do that spray-on bedliner stuff on the rocker panels to get rid of the rock dings. ;) :D ... After all it is just money... :rolleyes: :lol:

You just don't want anyone to hear your Culture Club's Greatest Hits cd playing.

Looks Great Jim! I love those wheels. The new black undercarriage paint really sets it off also. I had a 97 that looked just like it except it had the black molded mirrors. I'd still be driving that truck if my daughters hadn't gotten big and complained about having to climb over the seat to get in back! Now I have a 4-door and they don't go with me anymore anyway! They grew up.............dang...........I hate it when that happens.

I'm sure that is funny.....but I don't even know who "Culture Club" is? Maybe I can borrow DesertBull's copy of it sometime :P I have been accused of listening to some off the wall music though :unsure:

 

Gino, i was thinking about doing that with the rocker panels, I'll check it out! I had to get new wheels though, the old ones were the 16.5" rims and they've discontinued making tires for that rim....these wheels are nothing special though so it won't hurt when I beat em' up this next season!

 

I just used an automotive type rattle-can spray paint on the undercarriage. It's never been done to this vehicle so it was a huge task to paint the undercarriage. Makes a huge difference though if done right........I used 8 cans total!

 

As far as seein' me on the side of the road.......it could happen, but more than likely it's 'cause I've stopped to help somebody fix their Chevy or Dodge! :P

 

Thanks Amanda, I have run out of the stickers you gave me last time, maybe I can get a couple more from ya at the ISE show next weekend.
