Nice job on the truck. Check out the aero section of the forum for the best ideas on aeromodding. Best thing you could do to improve the aero on your truck, IMO, is do a bed cap. There are several good examples on the aero forum. A belly pan and side skirts would help too. Aero mods are always going to help some, but not as much at slow speeds. If you are always in town, you may not notice a big difference. Then again, your basically starting with a brick, so it may help you more than someone with a fairly aerodynamic car already
