That`s a real fine example of a Sierra Grande K500.I`ve had thoughts of going black with mine.I see another gauge was added,too.Unless it`s a trans temp or other gauge not already in the cluster I suspect the tach and that gauge weren`t functioning properly and adding a new unit was seen as easier.Nothing that can`t be put back to original with ease.Was the interior originally saddle or black?I see the saddle carpet and wonder if the vinyl wasn`t dyed black when the seat cover was done.I`m going with a saddle interior.Those slots couldn`t be in a more perect place bolted on that truck.IGot me a set of them,too.Thanks for the inspiration!

Does it have a 5th wheel mount in the bed?Can you get outside pictures for us?I`d like to see a rear 1/4 shot down the side...my favorite angle.How about a picture of the spid(option sheet on the glovebox door)?
