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?
that's ture that truck here in mn would braing in 12,000 to 15,000

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:
