Thanks for the comments, and info guys. I'm real happy about my new purchase, and really glad it gave me the opportunity to help my dad out, after the 31 years he's invested in my life. Really excited to see where this build takes me, and the journey of making it my "dream" truck, so to speak. If anyone has any other thoughts, info, or input on ideas, I'm open to whatever. Happy to stay in the gmt400 life.

Any tips on getting the "4x4" sticker off of the bed. I'm going to debadge the truck, but I'm a little nervous about messing up the paint where the sticker is. Also, a buddy has some alloy wheels from a gmt800 duramax. He doesn't know if they are 16s or 17s. He wants $150 for them but I only want them if they are 16s

Heat gun, sharp finger nail and patience. That's How I did mine.

And then buff & polish where the sticker was afterwards to get rid of the different shades of paint.

I gave the shell that was on it to a guy from our body shop. In return, he is going to paint the lower half of the truck white for $200. So once I debadge it, and use an eraser wheel, and get it painted white, it should look pretty good. My girlfriend bought me the large GMC emblem for the tailgate, from the 2015 model, that I'll add once it's debadged.

I used a heatgun and a credit card took about 15 minutes.

Nice looking truck btw :)
