cal58, I got the tags & insurance Wednesday so I'm driving it now, but actualy I still need to get the carpet installed & the "GMC" grill emblem plated & installed to call it done. But thats not stopping me from enjoying it now!

Kid-

You must be thrilled to be driving it.

I am sold on those wheels. The recent pictures give me a better idea of what the color looks like. My Air ride is quite old. I use a G-body (Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Grand National) frame and they offer a kit for that frme. It was one of the first things that I bought. It uses 1/4 inch lines throughout and I have (2) 3 gallon tanks hidden under the bed and one compressor. I don't plan on playing with the suspension up and down as I drive.

Your truck is my favorite of any that I have seen locally or in mags to date. The color combo of the wheels and the body is on the money. I am thinking of going with burgandy body color with your same wheels or Salt flats by AR but they dont offer them in a 20" size, so I will probably go with your same wheels.

How is the ride with your wheel and tire combo?

Lets see some interior shots.

Congratulation on getting her on the road!! I know how that fills, after all the hard work and then you can finaly drive her down the road, there's not much of anything like that! Your truck looks great! I like your wheels and the way she sits.

Thanks for the Kudos guys, we took a cruise Friday evening to a local gathering spot/ burger joint, about a 70 mile round trip & enjoyed every mile (thanks to the A/C).
