You do both of these and you could get away with running the full deluxe tailgate trim, maybe set the burb up with the full sierra grand trim package.

We all know burbs didn't come with beltline trim but for those not in the know it would be a nice subtle change that most people would have to do a double take to acknowledge.. Then all your missing is a nice two tone paint job to match, slam the thing on an air ride suspension running 18x10s in the front on 275s and run 20x12" on 315s in the rear. Probably torque thrusts would look best. I'd bet everyone would be scratching their head about that trim. Even those magazine guys that think they know everything!!
