Awesome looking truck Sir

The rear brake lines blew out on me last week. If it weren't for the new front end I wouldn't have tried so hard to avoid the prius in front me...

I tackled that job with some copper nickel hard lines and some new brass fittings. I also ordered up some new heavy duty bilstein's and an entire oem replacement exhaust. Cat, mid pipe, muffler and tailpipe.

While waiting for the parts I tackled an annoying dent in the extended cab that was from the previous owner and removed and prepped the rust that was starting to make a hole in the panel.

Many pictures to come

Why not just go to a muffler shop and have them put a exhaust on?

I'm not really looking for anything other than stock parts. I have the 262 vortec and haven't been shown any good sounding exhaust notes from it at anything above 2500 rpm. What do you have on your 4.3l?

That coupled with a really good discount that I have access to at the part store has just convinced me to get replacement parts. I need a new catalytic converter to pass emissions so I figured doing the Y pipe I should just get everything cat-back

After a very busy year, or maybe three, she's alive! I hope to get more than 150k miles out of it this time.
