Man this Burb looks sharp.

I finally have the front end I want on the truck.

I pulled this grille and headlights off of an '89 k2500 from the junkyard, and the grille is mint.

I also picked up a color matching hood. It's not in too good of shape, but at least it doesn't have a rust hole in it like my current one.

This is the 4th grille I've had on this truck.

The original one (judging by how the valence didn't match, its definitely not original to the truck).

The beat up grille off a '92.

The W/T grille (Judging by how the wiring for the headlights was hacked together, and how this truck is bare bones, I'd bet money that this truck originally had a W/T front end).

And now the '89 grille with quad sealed beam headlights.

I got the Burb all cleaned up, well my brother did since he doesn't currently have a car, and he needs to drive it to work.

It's probably the best looking vehicle I've ever owned (At least until I got the Studebaker finished).

Something in me wants it to look perfect, so should I give it a paint job?

If so, I'd love to do a color change? I think it would look mean black with Ll the chrome contrasting it (white wouldn't be bad either).

I love indigo blue personally. 1 of my favorite colors for gmt400. However after playing gta. Midnight blue with metallic flakes looks beautiful....

My tires are crap, they got no tread, are on the wrong width wheels, and they are dryrotted.

I don't have much cash to spend on wheels and tires, but I would love some old school square body wheels with dog dish hub caps (like I briefly had on my '95 Burb).

I found these on craigslist near me.

Am I stupid for considering running bias plys on my truck? I love the look of these old school tires. It would be unstoppable off road and in snow, but I'm worried that they are going to ride like absolute crap.

That's an aggressive pattern lol. Never seen it

I was at a junkyard in lasalle Illinois, and realized that I was like a mile from JC Whitney, so I decided to pay a visit and maybe save money on shipping.

Disapointment!

But at least I got some kick ass hubcaps at the yard.

The cat was about 78ft up there according to my dads range finder, so we had to enlist the help of a 50ft bucket truck and a 20ft pole to get it down.

I told my sister that for all the money she spent getting that thing down, she could have gotten like 3 or 4 other cats.

But seriously, this cat probably used 8 of its 9 lives today when jumped nearly 20ft into ariel bucket.

I would have gotten it down for you for about $3.
