It pretty much still looks like this now (pic from 2009). I think the only notable change is that there is a snorkel on the driver's side.

That covers most I have owned in the last 10yrs, minus a few others. A few are gone like the Taco and Pinz and a few are being killed like the 83 Patrol and a few are under construction! :)

First pic is after having the truck for about two weeks. I had the radio installed, remote light bracket, hi lift jack and seatbelts in the rear.
After eight years and many, many, many remodels it now is my RV twin bed, kitchen, ref/fridge, solar elec, solar hot water, flat panel monitor,swamp cooler and on and on and on.
can't wait to see what happens next.
