Your truck is looking great Brian

Thank you sir.

Next thing I do is a paint job... just have to save up my pennies


The clear coat is fading and clouding up! It's hard to see in the pics... but it's everywhere.

But hey, I've got just about $4000 in this bad boy.. and she does me well.

I know what you mean re: the clear coat....the hood and part of the top of the burb is looking pretty shabby as well

Your new A/C vents look pretty good

Thanks!!!

I know the truck aint special by any means... just like to keep updates on here.

I plan on only improving the truck... putting it back to a respectable condition.

Now I need a new headlight switch. The knob on mine is trashed.

I've added a couple of do-dads recently you might be interested in.I added a trans temp gauge(with sensor in the pan) and an aux. battery.The battery is mainly to power the winch but also have the two cheapy off-road lights connected to it as well.When I get the time I'm going to connect the CB there as well.All this in an effort to be able to use certain things without worrying about running the main battery down.The trans temp gauge speaks for itself.

Idk if the truck is in that great of shape to spend that kind of money. I am looking for a grandfathers truck.. that has around 100K or so.. and is flawless.. I have cash im just poaching.

I have fallen in love with the GMT400 Platform... I really want a lifted.. straight axle swapped LS truck... but gotta find the cream puff to do so with.

This one needs paint and has some dents.... seats need love and other parts.

But yes... looking to go there sometime.. haha.

I have been thinkin of doing this as well... I wanna hook my air setup in this truck to fill tires and run tools in case of an emergency. Where did you mount your battery at?

Who says you have to spend lots of money?!?! lol Go grab a 4.8/5.3 out of the junk yard for a couple hundred bucks and tinker around with it.
