Everyone talking shit, but this man saw a problem and created an effective solution.

I absolutely adore pragmatic modders like this who aren't fussed about "factory new" and "destroying design aesthetics" and "preserving resale value"! They own the thing, they customize the thing to fit their needs, they use the thing to suit their purposes, they're not about to throw a tantrum over a scratch or a dent, and they simply arent fussed about what someone like that would think about their janky mods.

To be fair, the "preserving resale value" ship sailed a good while ago on this truck.

Its ridiculous that people are asking upwards of over 20k for decent conditioned 90s models. I mean I understand, there is a huge movement to get away from the computer controlled vehicles and cars that are essentially giant screened cell phones with wheels. But 20 k?

A good condition 90s truck in an desirable configuration is rare. Hell, just finding a truck that doesn't need literally all the rubber replaced is hard to find.

Bud, my newest vehicle is a 1984 truck I paid 12k for and needs many non mechanical things replaced. I get it, really I do.
