Is there any great write ups on painting your own door handles? Going to buy new handles and try to color match myself. Thanks for any tips just ordered a 1100 watt inverter the other day for my new stereo lol. Long story short someone broke into my truck and now i am using my 250 watt computer sound system lol

Painting your own handles can be done, but it's much easier to buy a smooth set rather than try to smooth the textured ones, because they will not turn out well.

I think I would find a junk yard 5.3 and slap in there for about 500 bucks, then rebuild the 6.0 that was in it with maybe some mild head work and cam. Then when the time comes, slap it back in and resell the 5.3

That truck you posted is decent looking, but who knows who did the engine work, it looks like it needs a driver side door hinge, it already has that GM door lean going on.
