Default Another Texan

Hey I am Shawn from Texas I picked up a great deal on a 93 W250 from a good friend. Its got 258k on the odo, 5spd, really clean straight body, cold AC. Its have a very good service life and was a California truck before it came to me. I replaced the steering shaft with a Borgeson unit as the factory coupler had lots of slop in and I didnt feel like rebuilding it just for it to happen again. I picked this truck up as a daily driver and tow rig for my Jeep.

Plans are very basic, add a Isspro tach, some cool white LED dash lights, replace the steering box (its leaking), new shocks, maybe some new wheels (Racelines Renegades), tires fix the horn, and cruise control. I'll also repaint the hood and roof with some Duplicolor the rest of the paint is really good and shines up nicely. Anyway let me know what you think of my truck (my boy calls it Red Cooley after a song by the Deadbolts).
