Picking fights on I-65 since 2013
do you need a gm for the gmc on the grille?

I have a good M.. but my G is kinda messed up, if you want the G its free, if you want the m, im sure we can work something out.

the truck looks nice.

Nice reflections in the paint. Great evening picture.

Question:
Cladding? Fender flares all the way around? What do you have in the back for bumper cover or Roll pan?

Good question.. The fender flares are on there just as a test, I think they are coming back off.

The truck never had cladding on it, and probably never will. I am using the stock rear bumer though. the stock bumer that weighs in at .... 500lbs (not fifty, five hundred.) .... is not going back on.

Looks great Chad!!!

That paint makes a world of difference....who did you end up having do it?

Actually, that is the same paint with a few hours of wheeling and such. I am going to paint it this winter.
