Had the ole truck for a little over 2 years. Bought from the original owner for $3k with 163k miles. Aside from a few scratches and dents, it's a super clean truck and has never seen dirt or mud or anything. Driven back and forth to work and now school for it's whole life so it has 180k miles now. Been slowly doing small, necessary modifications, but I just don't really have money to drop into this thing to get it to where I want it to be, so this will be an incredibly slow build. I'm not a total idiot so I know how to do some things, but I would love some expert opinions and advice on where I should go from here. Constructive criticism is always nice.bI make trips to junkyards all over North Louisiana getting misc. parts to fix stuff when it breaks, and I always have new ideas on how to make this truck better. Figure I should post some pictures so here ya go

Dumb funny mod I did with an old baby doll head, a drill, red LEDS, and trailer light harness:

So that's about it! A pretty clean slate for modification and learning how to do new things. Comments and criticism are welcomed and appreciated, and I'm looking forward to building this truck with all of your help!
