Here is a description of the modifications that I have done to my truck. (Or, at least as complete a list of all the modifications as I can remember.) I originally bought this truck in late 1990, it was the most base model you could get. It didn't even have a rear bumper or any stereo (not even a 8-track) whatsoever. I drove it the first winter I had it, but once I started modifying it, it has been stored every winter since then. Also, in October 1994, it was had a 6 page article in Car Audio and Electronics Magazine.

Anyhow, I intend on totally redoing the truck as soon as I get a house, as I'm really tired of its current configuration, but don't have anywhere to work on it right now.

It has approximately 39,000 original miles
