It took me 2 years. I did all the work my self except the seat upholstery. All new GM parts,hood-  fenders- doors- bed panels- tailgate- bumpers- glass- mirrors- all the trim and a very hard to find new bowtie grill emblem. everything I could buy original GM.

Thanks for the interior and engine pics.  Where did you get the air cleaner housing?  Also curious about the hood hinges.  I have never seen those for sale in chrome/polish?
