I want to paint it a dark charcoal gray and get some black rims. Then just make all the accents black. And since the frame and underneath is so clean, I eventually think it'd be cool to take it to a few car shows around here once i get it all lookin nice on the inside. But of course, bein who I am, it's gonna get muddy at least a few times!  ;D

What sort of exhaust do you have rigged up? Truck looks good btw!
77 c-10 - 77 400 86 700r4 "Emmy"
83 citation - 2.5L Four on the Floor!
88 sierra - reman 350 700r4 "Eleanor"
All normal practicality and rational money handling goes out of the window when it comes to my truck.

Do you have any sound clips or vids of your exhaust?  My 94 F**D had a bullet exhaust like that and it sounded awesome.

Is your driver side rear hard brake line twisted or is it the pic?


Irish, are you talking about the staggered rear shocks? (If so then that is stock, GM did that to counter wheel hop).
