I imagine waiting on parts for you is brutal! My son is doing great! He's still fighting a little bit of an ear infection in his left ear. He's back to eating and drinking the way he was and fighting with his brothers! It's been a hard couple of weeks for him but he's getting back to his old self! I thank God he's doing better, as I've seen on the news some families were not this lucky! Again thanks to you and everyone else for their thoughts and prayers!

I bought mine in 2002 for my wife. I had a 93 WT. When the trans went out in the 93 ( in 2010) , I told here I would buy here something else, and I wanted this one. 3 door EC2WD. 342 rear, 5.7L 4l60E. I was looking for a 1970 El Camino, but couldn't find what I wanted for $10,000, so my wife says. look you got a 350, power windows, locks, Viper alarm ( with keyless entry), cruse, tilt, ECT, so why not have it painted. Had the paint done on the cheep ( $865 with the strips ). in 2013. As for performance, the block is stock, but I do have shortys, true duals, I put a 165 degree thermostat ( its hot here, you know) high flow air filter, I tuned it with a Jet tuner set on max, and set the speed limiter on max also 183 MPH I think, it will never see that HA HA, I did the 4 high head light mod, the throttle blade mod, the big 3 upgrade, but mine is a big 5, Pioneer bluetooth with a 680 watt amp pushing 1 Sony 10 under the back seat. and I did the upper corner lights mod. And I just had the bed Line-xed about a month ago. Not sure if I left anything out, but that about covers it.

Wow you got a lot of work in yours too! They really are a labor of love! I love to work on mine especially with my oldest son (6). He is looking toward to helping me install the lift this summer!

Nice talking. I got to get up at 6:00 for work, but I am on line almost every day. You can hit me up any time, and I will respond.

If you wouldn't mind getting some pictures of the exhaust system on the crew cab that would be greatly appreciated, and I don't know if the gmt800 shifter bothers you sticking up like that but if you get a shifter out of an 02 astro van the shifter is the same as the gmt400s and it has a tow/haul button on it.
