thanx bro. specs added above. hope you find interesting, at least a lil...lol...

i realize the flat silver wont appeal to everyone while others will love it. however, the idea was to give it a different unique look, all its own as when it was originally oem pewter color, some would say it was gold, others (light) brown, etc...and i hated the color identity crisis. ive had this truck since brand new and originally a 4.3 v6 so it has come a long ways in its time. the body barely hit 100k miles and the motor is reaching 60k miles, 16k since modded. i love it but just cant see myself with 2 rides once i get my 72 nova completed since i dont have a house and garage, rent an apartment and have car ports.....

I love the flat silver. It is very differant and never seen it before!

Only complaint I have is your front bumper, it desperatly needs some help on the bottom.The grill and wheels would be better suited body color but that is just me being nit picky.

The truck is great over all, and to sell it means that in 5 minutes you will miss it, and in 3-5 years you will kick your self every day for getting rid of it. Your best bet is to buy a storage unit, park it in it for a year or two and you will fall in love with it all over again in a year when the lease is up.

the front bumper i intend to get worked on a lil by trimming the original valance and blending in. it really doesnt look that bad in person cause it is low enuff and i hate the original valance cause when i park i had to be careful or it would get stuck on parking bump stops or whatever you callem...lol. the grill and and wheels are black cause i wanted some contrast and give it a road warrior look to it.....but i appreciate all comments.....

i have thought of parking at my mom's underneath a car port and buying a car cover to save it for later. take out motor and tranny to transplant into nova to get it ready quicker and save $$$$. but i already got a rebuilt lq9 and ls3 heads for the nova
