Engine

3.0 V6

Exterior

right now it's pretty much tore all apart.

Interior

See above.

Suspension

Well. When I had this truck the first time around it was rear clipped with a typical 2 link/panhard set-up. When I sold it the guy reclipped the back and 4 linked it. Right now it gets 27" of lift and the pinion angle only changes 1 degree. The front end is another story. When I had it it was just bagged up front. He absolutely cut the front end all to shit in order to make it lay on 22's. Well, it probably would have laid out on 22's but no way in hell it was safe to drive on 22's. He notched the frame and I-beams out so much that it was not savable. So now I am currently cleaning up an 88 Toyota front clip to replace the ranger front clip. We are also fabbing up upper/lower control arms. All work is being done/redone by myself and Sinister Fab Werx in Winchester, KY.

Wheels

right now mustangs but I bought some stock steelies to go on it.

Stereo

no head unit now but I still have the sony/kicker door/rear pillar speakers.

Awards

Buyin her back and fixin her up right.

Future Plans

It's getting front clipped, custom upper/lower control arms, engine driven compressor, paint the steelies red, hot rod flats black suede primer and some other minor things done here and there.
