Hey Jake, no doubt. And you are taking your time and doing it the way you want it to be. I am the same way about my truck. I like learning the minutia of corporate standards and practices concerning these old trucks, but I do not feel obligated to replicate there trucks. Even GMC made running changes during model years in an attempt to make there trucks better. And who knows what makes a truck better than the trucks end user. Its my truck now. I do what I like on my dime. While I am glad to see rare low mile survivors protected in there native state, I am also glad to see people save these old trucks from the scrap heap by doing them up any way they like. Heck, my truck has a 396 and auto tranny, radial tires and cypress wood in the bed. Not exactly stock choices. As Frankie sang, "I did it my way". GM
