Been Driving A Sonoma

It's my friend's Sonoma and I don't even know what year it is. I think we are working out a trade of me build him porch railings and I get truck but things are casual between us. It's a 4cyl/5spd regular cab which is perfect. It would be perfecter if 4wd, but I have the Suburban for that. I would of course need to personalize this one but not wanting to do a lot. It's purpose is to be cheap all around. I think I'd lower it a bit, change wheels & tires to suit me and I would love to put a windowless fiberglass cap on, since it carries my tools to jobs and could use a way to haul long things. For Carlisle in spring I threw together a rack so I could stack tubs higher and so I could drape a tarp over for a place to sleep and keep things dry if it rained.

I want to dress it down, more of a work truck. I'd like to find the 4wd steel wheels like my '99 ZR2 has. At first glance they look like the base steel wheel for S-models, but those are stamped and these are heavier plate. That would make a subtle change, the kind I like. If not those, I'll get steelies and put hubcaps on. I'm thinking argent wheels.

I'd find a rear bumper and brackets as well
