Exterior
Future:

-Streetscene side mirrors colormatched
-Keeping the door handles and colormatching them
-shaved taillights, will have hidden leds under the tailgate.
-slight chop on the top, about 2” or so, keeping the original angle on the windshield
-seam between cab and roof will be smoothed.
-clear glass “fish bowl” look
-bed gap will be closed up a bit, taking it down to about ½” or so.
-shaved stake pockets
-molded in smooth rollpan
-Shaved tailgate handle
-inside of the bed will be tubbed an oak wood floor with stainless strips will be installed and sides will be smoothed
-thinking about having the exhaust come out of the center of the pan either two oval tips, or two small rectangular ones.
-shaving the upper bodyline just under the window
-reworking the lower bodyline to be basically a bigger version of what the upper body line was
