AMERICAN PICK-UP · 01-31-2013, 03:02 PM

I just brought in this 2011 gmc regular cab lwb 4.8 engine,4l65e 4 speed auto. 3.23 locking rear end. it had minor frame damage from being run off the road. the side curtain air bags blew and the seat belts blew but the air bags did not. we are going to take off the wrap but on a flat bed and new tires and wheels.

Coming out really nice i have almost the same truck but mine is a swb. When you painted the front bumper its it the stock plastic piece or a new upper piece.
