185,000 miles!! Looks pretty good for that many miles. Is that with the original drivetrain too? Fix that bumper and it would help the appearance alot. I'm not a big fan of the wheels though....

You have a lot of potential there with that truck...it's not in bad shape considering that it has almost 200k on it I haven't seen that kind of paint fade on an NBS truck yet, looks like a mid 80's GM Are you the original owner? Looks like the hood never had a coat of wax on it.

I like the color.
I wanted to buy an 03 that color but it was in GA.

Can't wait to see what you do with it down the road.

Hmmm, I was going to mention a cowl hood as a recommendation, but it looks like that's already part of your plan
