Back in the US and I got my SS/T already

-
Ok here are a few pics. Now for the story about the truck I have. The truck was bought new in MO in 98 and was wrecked in the front end around 00 and the front end was replaced with a 99-01 Sport front end. At that time the stripes were all removed.:violent1: The girl I bought it from has owned it since 01 and it was not taken care of at all. I will be cleaning forever to get this thing presentable again. I spent about 2 hours this morning cleaning under the hood and washing it for the first time in what looks like 5 years. It had a tarp strapped over it while they drove from MO to NC and it rubbed the paint pretty bad but with a little rubbing compound it will look pretty god from 10 foot. The wheels are gonna have to be stripped polished and recleared since they are absolutely ruined from brake dust and not being washed. Runs prety good but has a rough idle and I think it has never had a good tuneup so I bought new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Along with oil and filter pcv valve and a whole crap load of carpet cleaner and various other cleaners for the interior.

1. Window sticker.
2. How it sat when I picked it up.
3. Under hood filthy.
4. under hood filthy.
5. After a bath.

Thank you guys for all the support. I have to be back in Iraq n 2 weeks but I an to enjoy every second I can with my 2 girls. That doesn't include the truck either but I will enjoy the truck as well. I started a resto thread and you can see a few more pics of it there. And no there will be no towing with this one and there also won't be a race car behind it, well actually there might be few since this is my new project. My plan is 13's and I don't see that being to far off.
