Thanks. I just ordered them last night after reading post by “Professional——“ . Can’t remember full name. I’ll let you know when I get them. Supernova Perfectfit bulbs.

 

Showroom clean engine bay is beautiful!

 

Those blue hoses and wires are f'n, great job!!! Love the clean engine bay, very nice

 

Sweet ride, well done. I love that receiver - discontinued but a few out there. Sounds like all of your mods and repairs are spot on!

 

Lol…thanks. The blue makes the 6 cyl go faster

 

Thanks…great receiver that was recommended by forum.

I think I have read every freaking first gen post. I need help.

 

Thank you…lots of beer, brushes and forever black.

 

We all need help. Peer pressure and addiction are bad! LoL

 

Whew what a clean truck! Nice work. I love that V6 what an awesome little engine.

 

Nice clean truck that will last you as long as you want to drive it!

 

yeah i went through hand mans build page and saw those perfectfits reason i ask fn legend..

 

Thank you. Yes this little V6 does everything I need it to do. It took me forever to find a stock 2WD. My driving is 100 percent pavement down south.

 

Yes! That is him! Has a lot of of great posts.

 

Thanks, I hope you are right. I plan on keeping it for many more years.

 

Looks great..
Makes me miss my 2005.

 

Very clean. Do you have spacers on those wheels? I need to replace, or refinish, my old wheels.

 

No spacers. 17 inch wheels on 265/70/17. Offset was same as original 16s

 

i misS my 2000 tunny. should not have sold it

 

Every time I think about getting a new one I come back here and read posts like this one. So I am keeping it.

 

Nice truck! Maybe if they locked out your access when your bank account dips below a certain threshold to save you cash? lol

 

Nice1st Gen Rig... Very clean... Don't want to trade in for 22??
The scramble is on... Plus, those prices are heavy Duty territory..

 

I would love a 22, but then I couldn’t park up front at Lowes without worrying.

 

Looks nice!!!!!

 

GREAT job on that paint!!! Impressive !
My last 2003 AC was that same V6 . . . great motor and TORKY !

 

Thanks. I had the front clip re painted in because the hood clear coat was practically gone. If you look close there is a difference between door and fender.

 

Ahhhh .... Professional Hand Model. I miss that mf'er.

Nice looking truck. What are the details on your bed cover?
