Yes it is... and I thought about it as I really like this front end....

It's the first picture I have of the truck out of the damn garage with the new headlights.

Looks good John. I was just making sure I didn't miss anything, haha.

Time to take off the hubcaps and rock steelies with trim rings?

Nothing changed besides the second wash since I have owned it.

With summer here and working as a mechanic outside... I don't touch my truck. =/

I'll do the little things I want to do to it this winter.

(dechrome it - and some maint, work)

I did fix the cruise control yesterday. :P

Plans are to hopefully get a SRT-6 then use this as my toy... (SBC 350 swap w/ some spray)

For now, I'll just enjoy the 28mpg :)
