I put this here because most of the modifications/upgrades apply to trucks as well. The first picture is of the truck when I bought it. It was an original California black plate truck. It had minimal rust, most do to a leaky windshield and the exhaust exiting out the sides. The next picture is a rendering of what I envision it looking like when I'm done (rendering by Zumo graphics).

List of work completed:

Front suspension: ART bags, ART StrongArms, CPP 13" drilled and slotted rotors with dual piston calipers and modular 2" dropped spindle. 1.25" sway bar.

Rear: ART bags, Porterbuilt 3" dropped tubular trailing arms, CPP C-Notch, ECE Super track bar, ECE upper shock relocation kit, 5 lug conversion axles, hidden hitch, and flip down tag. CPP 12" rear disc brake conversion with drilled and slotted rotors.
