oh yea, NICE interior!  can't wait until i get some work done on mine.  it's not that mine's in bad shape, it's actually in good shape...but its BROWN (Mahogany according to the General) and it's a vinyl bench with a black rubber floormat and base model door panels...mine is just a Sierra...

That front looks great! I've always liked that look. What happened to your hood, though? It looks bad scratched.

Don't hate me :( - I kind of like the old look :-\  Maybe it's the bumper...

Nice looking truck man.  I like the old grille look too, but that suburban grille looks nice too.

84sierra -   push bumpers gotta go in my opinion.  but it improved its looks alot though. i have an extra gmc grille emblem if you want it.

JJSZABO, Thank you for catching that it's just as easy to type in another word as opposed to that.  I think we all get the picture of what may have happen to the compressor.
