I got it a couple of months ago. It had a frame up restoration in. 2004. They did a nice job but its showing its age. Had to have the transmission rebuilt but its fully drivable now. Cruises 75-80 on interstate just fine.

That is really nice choptop. I jealous. ;)

Thank you. Its not perfect but its the nicest one I own.
-
That is one beautiful truck. Love the paint, the interior all of it! Nicely done sir.
-
Really like those wheels. Do you know the name of the blue and silver paint? Those are really close to what I would like to paint my truck but in a different pattern.
-
I can't take credit for it. The previous owners did a great job restoring it back in 04. I'm adding a few of my own touches and fixing things that are showing their age. One being the transmission. Its rebuilt now just doing cosmetics.
The paint is 04 Chrysler Intense blue pearl (PB3) and the silver is Viper silver.

Thanks for the info..
-
what's is the back extended cab part?? looks like big box??
-
2 of mine have jumper seats, the others its just open. The crewcab needs it so the rear seat can lay down. This is the rear of my tan and black truck. I'm gonna make some for the others. The Blue one is only a two seater and there's 4 or us.
-
What are your plans with it? I think it would look a lot better with a little more of a classic touch and without the stripes. Do you have any larger pics of the interior?
-
My plans with this one is to fix the few flaws it has, put my 18's on it and just cruise it as is. I really need to get back on the other ones. I think the crew cab is next so we can use it to haul the family and pull this one. I think I want to go kinda old school on the tan and black GMC. Considering an old school pro street setup, 15" wheels on all 4 corners ( hoping to order 15x14 rallys for rear) and painting it back original colors like was once stated here before. I think it was your advice on the original colors Vile, but its been a while. The back half chassis for the prostreet will allow be to put a standard short bed on it. I just so happen to have a perfect bed ready for it.
-
Heres more recent pic. Having trouble getting them resized properly. Bear with me, i'll get them right eventually.
Vile, I'll get better interior pics and put them up soon.
-
Thought Id try a set of chrome bezels since there is alot of chrome on the front. I think it looks good on this truck, but i can't picture them on my other ones.
Did want other opinions on something tho. I'm considering putting the lower air deflector on this truck since Im not lowering it any more. I think it will give it a lower look. Since this is the place with the peole who know what looks good on these, what's your thoughts?
-
Very nice addition choptop
-
Nice!
-
Finally got engine bay cleaned up. Here's before and after.
-
Bed rails were looking rough due to clear coat starting to peel so I put chrome covers on until i can reclear it later down the road and freshened up the bedliner.
-
First show. I have too say its more fun to drive than show.
-
I know this is an older thread but didn't want to start a new one since its same thing. Still need new interior pics, but heres some newer exterior pics.
-
I really like this truck. Thanks for the updated pictures.
-
LOVE the extended cabs!! I truly love them. Looks great!
-
I was fortunate to see this truck in person. Pictures don't do it justice.
-
Thanks guys. I'm hoping to bring the front down a couple inches in the near future and get some things on the interior fixed,tthen this ones done for a while. Going to try to get my crewxab ready to haul this one to shows next year.
