Default Working on appearance this off season.

Well since the old ***** is running good ive decided to spend time on making her 12 year body look better.

My bed had a bunch of small dents on each side of the bedrails, so i had it professionally painted. Turned out excellent.Left inside alone as i'll spray in a liner.









Im thinking of getting a steel roll pan? what do y'all think??

Also i added 02' Yukon Denali seats and door panels/ dash grab. Still need to finish interior and paint some of the trim pieces.









Left the hood this time at the paint shop for a repaint top and bottom. My blower belt broke and dented it

So i should i go old school and drive with no hood on???





Still have to finish my exhaust, lower another inch and possibly diff. wheels.
Also going to do a Racetronix hot wire kit for the fuel pump.

Im just another guy who enjoys working on an old chevy truck

Looks good for a 12 year old truck.
I say no on the roll pan. Not a big fan of them.

I like the roll pan on lowered trucks. Bumpers only on stock or lifted trucks. Interior looks good!

I'm not feeling the extra interior color, personally. That pillar pod of yours is still burned into my brain too, so I've got that stuck in the back of my mind also.




















OR........maybe I just hate your whole truck since it's faster than mine.

No on the roll pan! They look great on a lowered truck but stock or lifted they are out of place.
Is that valance going on this truck?

No truck with fender flares needs a roll pan. Leave it alone.
