Slick truck! The wheel and tire combo and the color really make it stand out, even with the usually boring W/T grille. I like it!

Here's the 88 I'll be buying this weekend. I have the 67 up for sale.

It's got a few things that I'm not too fond of, but overall, it looks like a sweet truck. Nice color too.

Headlights. Swapping to a 94-98 style grill but leaving sealed beam headlights has never made sense to me.

It's funny how wheels could change the whole look

#1 is the rollpan. Granted, it looks better on this truck than most of the trucks I see that pan on these days, but the time of the ZR-1 rollpan has passed. I would replace it with a normal, unlighted rollpan and then stick some good taillights (I prefer the LED set I have in my Suburban) back in where they belong.

I too have never really been a fan of these. I also think they look ok on this truck. But, I also have a Z06 so they don't bother me too much. This is probably something I'll change in the future.

The grille update in itself is fine. It doesn't bother me that it was updated and kept the sealed beam headlights, but I don't like the funky "mess" in the openings. I think the mesh is part of the grille. A cheap eBay thing. The big killer on the grille update is the use of the stock '88-'93 parking lights. Those lights don't fit right in the later grilles and just look ugly in there. Replace the parking lights with some stock '94-'98 pieces or some nice diamond clear aftermarket pieces and then cut out the "mesh" in favor of billet or something else. The chrome grille does look a little out of place with the painted bumper and everything else on the truck being chrome-free. Maybe color match the grille, or my personal preference, swap to a GMC grille. I do like the sidemarker lights, though. I wish they would make them for the '94-'98 GMC grilles.

The grill is a bit blingy and I will probably change that also. I also plan to change the parking lights at the least.

The wheels, though not really that bad, just don't work for me. They're too blingy.

As far as the wheels go, I prefer a 5 spoke design but these will do for now. At least they are chrome and have new rubber.

The interior looks super-clean from what can be seen. I had a similar seat in my truck long ago. I didn't like the woodgrain, so I smoothed it out and then painted it an accent color, in my case it was gray with the same color blue interior.

Yes, the clean interior was a big factor in the purchase. I like the buckets with the ability to carry around my 2 boys and or the wife if she's lucky. :)
I too don't like the wood grain and I will be changing that. The interior has a little too much billet also. The sterring wheel, which you can't see, ac vents and speaker covers.

But like I said, the overall package looks really good and that blue is very nice. I'm a sucker for blue. :) The truck was built to the taste of the owner, which isn't all bad, but my tastes tend to skew a little off from the masses and it would need a bit of tweaking to fit my liking.

Man, that interior is decked out! The wheel looks like it might get a little hot in the Texas sun, though. You weren't kidding; it is super-clean inside.

Edit: And I guess you won't be hauling a lot of mulch:lol:

Nice edit of my post Scotts.

So you can never post any criticism or personal opinion about other vehicles on this site, right? As long as you're a "yes" man, you're free to post.

That seems to be the case, so....no thanks.

I'm done posting anything here.
