[QUOTE="broncobuddha, post: 4058148, member: 46062"] It doesn't look like they painted the tailgate. There's quite a few chips where the paint has come off. There's also two dimples in the cowl that look like the hood was pushed into them that weren't really straightened. But, overall, it is a clean truck. The body just looks like it has 210k on it (it does) vs. what you think would be done if the entire truck were painted. What tires do you think I should run? The speedo's off by maybe 3mph at 60. Not too bad. Plus, I like the look. I'm worried if I get a shorter tire, it wouldn't look as lowered as it does. It's got 285/60/18s on there now. Stock size for that gen2 rim is 295/45/18. I'm not sure what that would look like. It would cause the speedo to be off the other way. Probably read fast. I paid $8000 for it. That's right at NADA (including the mileage) without even taking the supercharger and ingnition setup into account, so, while it sounds like a lot for an 11 year old truck, I think it was a fair price. He had sold it to a guy down in GA who only had it for a month or so when I bought it. He realized he wasn't a truck guy and that his girlfriend was pregnant, so, he needed out. All in all, I'm happy with it. [/QUOTE]
