:-laf



oh yeah, don't forget you getting the smaller DRUM brakes (if you don't have 'em already) and the 3:54's without LS. oh, and the older style wheels. plus what, 3 or 4 springs without overloads that seem worn... and the front end may need spacers on mine. and to mention, i just found some new scratches in my the tailgate today while washing it (about an inch wide)



hey, even worn, the rubber is still big.

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Zman thats it? oh well then thaaats a whole different painjob on things



Speaking of paint job ... ... . Ahem 98Rammer uhh heh heh a heh hehheh uuhh for some reason I would have to decline.

 

[98rammer]

oh yeah, i have some dents that you wouldn't notice without me telling you. oh, and there are some holes where the original owner had the diamond plated running boards mounted on the inner front fender and bottom of the truck. well, good luck anyways!



the original, 98Grammar.

Hey, a little patching, a little bondo, no problem. Really, if you want to go with 4 wheels (no opinion here), find some really wide slicks. Now that would look cool. Wouldn't reduce the width though, oh well, bad idea.

Pittsburgh area...

TMTT - It looks like the Pittsburgh area is a pretty good halfway point. It would only be about a 6. 5 hour drive for both of us. This could make one heck of an interesting bombing party. Surely there are some GLTDR boys that can host this craziness.



Like you, I'm not sure I really want to do this, but it's something to think about.
