I pretty much decided I will keep the wheels. At most I will change out the grill to a Tahoe one. That is how I always liked it, clean and simple. One solid color , no badges or moldings. Thanks for the compliments

No problem. I payed 9,000 for it. There is nothing wrong with it except for the appearance of it when I purchased it.
It did take me awhile to find a rcss in black. I ended finding it in Orlando.
Oh the mileage is 70,000. I was not too worried about the mileage. If something breaks just replace it with something better.

Sure was! The previous owner must of dealt with concrete or something because I spent a couple of weeks scaping concrete chunks off and then buffing the crap out of the clearcoat. I repainted the steps and the bed rails also. They were pretty screwed up from the toolbox and rack. I still have a few things left to do on the paint but it is coming out pretty clean.
Thanks for the compliments.

THat is a sharp looking truck man, I wanted a step-side but couldn't find one. How did your molding turn out-I want to take mine off but I am scared the paint will be faded or have lines in it(black paint shows all). Any info you can give would be great.

The molding came out pretty good, except for one spot on my driver side door. The thing is take your time, heat up the adhesive, slowly pull back the molding. You can also use a fishing line to break up the adhesive. I just pulled it off and use non-abresive adhesive romover. It took me a couple of days messing with it. After the molding was removed I used a clay bar and then a mixture of Poorboy and Cleakote products with a Porter Cable buffer to buff it out.
Go for it. It is well worth it in the end.
