I have done alot of work on the outside but it needs more still. When done it will be a very nice GMC.

This is a very special ride to me for personal reasons. I think you will feel it. The engine smoked pretty bad and I couldn't seem to get it to idle correctly.

The other Main problem is the quarters want to eat the tires. I have air shocks but the drivers side is leaking. My rims are 14x6 inthe front and 15x10 in the rear. The rear is only a 275/60. The goal is to get a 295/50 to fit. Well the rollpan is here now.

If you want one then try the people at (www.Laureneng.com) the customer service is the best.

I primed the tailgate back up after the thing was as smoth as it needed to be. I need some light body filler.

The hood has been bothering me for some time now so I had to paint it white.
