Outside of that, you've got a pretty decent looking truck in spite of the bumps and bruises you mentioned. Congrats on finding a true collectable GMC truck!
Its pretty sweet. I will post some more pics soon. I even have two of the hub caps. I do plan on after market rims. I have always liked the 3/4 ton rims from the 99-2006 trucks on the older trucks. think they look awesome. I Do plan on keeping it mostly original. for now I only need to put new shocks on it and trace a fluid leak. looks like one of the brake lines. as I understand my year still had the hydro clutch.
