Nice! I didn't need the fleetside when I bought mine, I was just looking for a reg cab short bed which is tougher to find than you would think. I'm kind of split between the older stepside vs the newer. I just wanted a newer vehicle. I removed the moldings since they were faded so bad.

That's a beautiful truck! I decided on This because they are easy to work on and It was a steal of a price.

It looks like yours is sitting pretty level which is a good sign. Are your rear stepsides made of plastic/fiberglass or metal? I thought they were fiberglass like mine.

Lt1_8U 03-08-2013 08:09 AM

Yeah, no sags or anything. Just the driver door needs pins and springs. The bed is fiberglass

Looks good..just received my new bumper yesterday myself. Going to coat the inside of it before installation as these were notorious for rusting from the inside out.

Lt1_8U 03-23-2013 07:49 AM

Thanks guys, that's why I did the roll pan. The bumper rusted through in a few spots. Update

I put the 94-98 gmc front end on. Billet grill with clear corners and new parking lights and headlights. I also rattle canned the front bumper.

jim the truck looks great the gmc grill and the newer headlights looks alot better on these trucks

Did you buy the grill w/the billet piece installed? I added a billet to mine but man, had to cut a lot for it to fit perfect. I saw afterwards one could buy the billet piece and new grill altogether, granted i only paid $50 for the billet piece.

Your truck is coming along nicely.

Lt1_8U 03-23-2013 06:04 PM

It looks so much better, thanks Chris.

I bought the billet grill separately then cut out the center plastic section. I purchased a nice dremmel tool with a bunch of fittings so it came out nice. Definitely cut out a lot of it haha
