Truck has been kinda stagnent for the past few months. But I sold my dd, dodge 2500, and ive been putting the ole 88 to use.

Only new to date is I had to change both upper ball joints after one nearly fell out in my driveway. This weekend I will be repainting the hood black and cleaning up the wheels to shoot some clear on them.

I have a set of 2" drop shackles and a full polyurethane bushing set waiting to go on as well.

I was glad to find my a/c still operational after all the issues I had last year with it. But the compressor makes some racket. I may have to return it to napa and get a new one before its warranty expires.

Stay tuned cause the GMC is going to get alot of attention this summer.

Well I hit some serious finincial issues this week and I wont be able to spend much on the truck for awhile. Just took a 3k hit for insurance for my granite company. So I spent some time today polishing the old .

After a good wash I spent several hours polishing the wheels back up. Ill let the pictures do the talking.

Thanks!!

My wheels are bare aluminum. So they tend to hold grime and brake dust really bad. I use scotch brite pads and bar keepers friend polish to clean them up.
