The '73 -'87 trucks look better when they're either restored or kept simple with a resto-mod flavor, just my opinion.

I'm not a big GM fan by any stretch of the imagination but I really like how clean your truck is. I've got alot of Dodges that old and I really respect how much work it can be to have a nice older vehicle.
As for the satin black, I like it just like it is.

Thanks for the props, always nice to get them from someone that likes another brand... You have some nice looking dodges in your sig, are they all yours?
Yeah, I believe I am gonna leave it satin for a while, I always thought it looked cool, but I like it more and more every time I see it..

lookin good truck man, I've got an 81 GMC and a 99 Ranger too (used to be my brothers) and I would drive the 81' to hell and back and not blink an eye. Made solid and it's really nice to climb up and sit down in the engine bay to work on !

Nice lookin' truck man. I love the stance and I agree on the list of mods. Keep it simple and restore it with a few "up-to-date" things. I'd post some pics of my '85, but I keep forgettin' to scan the pictures. Here's my inspiration though.....Only thing I'd do different than this guy is replace the original interior with a new black interior and I'd put a new chrome bumper on the back instead of the roll pan.... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2482160

yep, the exhaust is getting changed probably this weekend, and I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do with the front bumper yet, but the push guards will go away at some point..
