It'll stand me at right around 8000$ including buying it, shipping it, taxes and registering it here. But ive got to swap ut to UK spec lights, New windscreen, new tyres, both interior door handles, new ignition barrel, rear crank seal, battery.... that's what I think it'll need before I even send it for inspection

Start a thread about it!

Truck is looking awesome @Stumpy . Can't wait to see more progress.

I had planned on ordering the parts to drop this thing, but our little 4 legged kid got sick, and run up a healthy vet bill. She's all back to normal now, and doing good.

With the hit to the fun money, I order some cosmetic stuff I've been wanting.
LMC stainless mirrors, and a front valance...



I started to get black mirrors, but they were plastic, and figured the metal ones would hold up better. Made in Taiwan, but these things are nice, and look to be while made. Not being satisfied with the valances I've seen in the junkyards, and LMC being pretty cheap, I order from them, and got all new hardware to bolt it on.

Finally got some new Anzo tail lights, and with those, I installed the LED 3rd brake light, that I bought probably over a year ago.



Amazing what a set of tail lights will do for the looks.

How's the fitment with the LMC valance? From the pics it looks good. I need to get a sport valance from LMC for my 97.

Spot on. No issues at all.

Awesome! Thanks

Picked up some "professional grade" seats.





Ran across these on fb marketplace, the wife seen them, and gave the thumbs up. Only had to ride 30 minutes to get them. They're out of a 14-18 Sierra Denali, so they are leather, and full power on both.
$400, which was more than I wanted to spend on seats, but for what they are, it's not bad. Still need to find a middle jumpseat.

My son in law has been doing headliners for a living for years, so had him come by, and get Stumpy taken care of.

The sun visors needed some extra care...







Had just enough SEM black paint, to spray the mirror trim, while he had it apart.

On a less positive note. The motors, and control module in the drivers seat I bought are screwed, the passenger seat works, but the forward/back motor is sickly. The guy I bought these seats from, said he had them for a while in his garage. I'm thinking the concrete sweating, has ruined the electronics. I can get a control module for $115, but I'm sure I'll need to replace the motors too, so debating what to do. Not sure it's worth it, but losing $400 doesn't sit well either.

One of my cab light lens decided to bail while going down the road last week, so Stumpy got an early Christmas present.







Got them off ebay for $30. They came with the lens, rubber base, pig tails, and LED bulbs. Didn't need the pig tails, and the LED bulbs are junk, so put my regular bulbs back in.

Those are the same ones I’ve bought for my current truck and my 99, the assemblies are pretty good, but I tossed the LED bulbs that came with them as well lol.
