Looks like you got a good deal on that. A truck like that around here would prolly get maybe $6000 for it. Looks rust free,not many of them around here. What did you do to grill? looks factory?

The grille bars used to be all black. I broke out a can of paint stripper and made the bars chrome. Looks way better now. I may be selling it soon. Only worth about $3000 MAX here.

Update on Ole Green.

-New GM Crate 4.3L Vortech V6
-Engine and tranny mounts.
-Tranny modulator
-Water pump
-Radiator
-Bosch fuel pump, new fuel filter, new relay.
-Plug wires (driving a 4 cylinder FULLSIZE TRUCK for 4 miles was SLOW).

If I didnt like this truck so much I would have pushed it over a cliff a long time ago :wow:
