Got bored at work and pulled my bed rails off the truck. Not sure if I like it or not. Its surprisingly clean on top of the bed where they mounted for being there for 14 years

I never thought my truck looked bad with them on there, but I had 3 people tell me I should pull them off today. I was worried about the bed being rusted under the mounts for the rails but I guess I lucked out on that

I say with myself adds a little extra to the back. But that is just me. Truck looks good anyway.

That's one of the cleanest 97's I've seen.

Thanks man. It basically fell into my lap lol. Had 89k miles on it when I got it back in October. Hell, the dash isn't even that bad lol

I'm a big fan of that truck. I want something like that as an offroad toy.

Don't jinx yourself mark. lmao

Shut up Tony lol. I've got another dash panel sitting in the garage waiting on me to decide on what I'm doing with my interior before it goes in. I already jinxed myself on the damn heater core...

Lol I found a good deal on a new dash piece for my truck. Someone had ordered one for their 96 and they sent the wrong color so I bought it to paint when I get ready to do my interior. I told my wife I'd just replace it whenever I had to put a heater core in since the entire dash has to come out.
On my way home from work the next night, I noticed the truck was running hotter than normal, got home and the coolant jug was empty. Started looking for leaks and found my heater core leaking lol
