Be careful about running synthetic oil in your engine too unless you have an additive.

Nice :gmc2: They ride so nice for a truck! Plus I personally like the styling better than chevy recently....

Re: My 68 swb build.
 
I drove both and the body on the chevy looks cheap...like theyre poorly put together and that front bumper looks like crap. Like i said this is "denali" without navigation and the sunroof. I love it so far, I miss the 4x4 but I don't play in the mud so its not a big deal. Awesome power awesome interior and a beautiful truck. I don't think I did too bad. I didn't wash have another car note but I bit the bullet. Sticker price new was 44,840.00. I got it with 21655 miles and 9000 for my truck left me with out the door with all the warranty I could get 100% bumper to bumper for 100000 miles for 22,800. After all said and done i financed 26500.. what do Yall think?

Nice truck, sounds like you did pretty good. I agree I like the GMC's better than the Chevy's. They just look a whole lot better to me.

Re: My 68 swb build.

yes, theyre powdercoated, but only the first color(sparkle silver) the blue is metallic blue by duplicolor and the black outlining is duplicolor black touchup paint. we put 3 coats of clear on them and they are rock solid...

The emblems turned out nice. Sounds like you need to have a garage sale ;)
