Thanks, I had planned on painting the center link and wiper arms satin black but relized I was out of black when I got home, barely had enough for the tie rod sleeves.

nice progress

Thnak you, hoping over the next week and half or so I can keep knocking out the small stuff it needs, going to make a junk yard run in a couple weeks to look for random parts and some GMT400 heated leather buckets from a Suburban, and a new headliner, going to see if I can find a pair of good cab mounts also.

Saturday I plan on picking up front pads/rotors, plugs, wires, serp belt and a fuel filter

Parts are on hold for a week until I get paid. I decided to do some personal spending on something very special for my dad, step dad but refer to him as dad, dad and father are 2 different things, dad is a title that is earned and father is given.

I'm tuning in on this one. Sounds like you've go some good plans! Looking a lot better without the Nitro rims.

Oh yeah- and definitely get it undercoated soon if you want to drive it around much this winter. I'd hate to see that baby get destroyed- there's enough of those trucks in shambles around here. I've only seen maybe one or two other GMT-400's around here that have no rust besides mine.
