    Here's a pic of the front end all put back together. Here's a night shot of the rear. I put in some LED replacement bulbs I got off of eBay for about 2 bucks.

    Thanks, yeah I hadn't planned on buying a box yet. But when the opportunity presented itself I had to do it. My wife was pissed, but she just can't appreciate saving money now and not spending more later.. LOL.:Stupid Me:

    I'm planning to keep the 4.3L. I was thinking about eventually upgrading to a 350, but i need to research that project more. It gets far better mileage than my 99 Dodge got with a 318 and it makes plenty of power for what I use it for.

    Hey man, I like the truck. AND you're a fellow Oregonian. If you're ever up in the Clackamas area we should get together and compare notes. I just posted my project here. http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?24297-My-91-K1500-Build I really like that wheel selection.

I picked up a slightly used set of MB Touring 16x8.5 wheels on CL and put them in my garage. The paint was so bad and flaking off in places that I had...

    Picked it up with 150k on the clock. It has a 4.3L with a 5sp and runs like a champ. I got it form the original owner, who gave me a thick file folder with a lot of receipts, for 1500 bucks. Originally I planned to just drive it until I could afford to buy a new truck. But I have always like...

    Nice truck bro. After checking out your pics of the painted/bed coated grill and bumpers, I've decided that is what I'm going to do. I was going to buy a new black grill, and have the bumpers powder coated at around 75 bucks a piece. Instead I think I'm gonna do what you did. I'm thinking of...
