Looks great!!!! Whose rear fenders did you use? I'm thinking of going that way myself.

Thanks

Steve

Steve: I used USBody glass fenders and steps. I purchased these many years ago. You can inquire and see if they are still making these.

That truck looks great. Which way are you going with the interior?

Your truck looks great. I can't wait untill I get mine that far.

Looking good! I like the color. What's your plan from this point?

Re: a couple before and after pics
 
Thanks. Did you have any issues with them fitting? I heard that some of these oversized fenders needed a little work. Not referring to USBody in particular.

Bishop, I am still pondering the idea of keeping the suburban seats and console of possibly switching to impala seats and another console. I am thinking of a Tan interior but that could change... Now to talk Cal58GMC into some interior pics ;)

No fitment issues. just measured alot and drilled the holes. I did have the rear lowers pie cut and extended out to match my roll pan.

Re: a couple before and after pics
 
Any pics of said roll pan? Are you running a rear bumper as well? I like my rear bumper along with a pan to cover the gas tank. Clean truck!
