Re: Help me spend 5 grand

If brakes, steering, and the drive train are good, you might fix the leaks as suggested. Do I see hints of rust along the gutter? Perhaps it's along your window frames as well? If so, there's a good priority.

Not sure what to say about your paint. Personally I like the body and paint just as it sits, but it doesn't match the interior and inner bed. Safe bet that was originally light olive? If it was blue, then I'd have suggested repainting the white top, and perhaps the inner bed. Sorry man, I'm not a big fan of the black with that seat and interior.

Other than that, I know little about drops, but that appears dropped as it sits. Though I like the wheels on it, fat rims and tires would look cool on that truck.

Nice truck..........
