Well it sounds like I'm going to be buying my Parts from GMC Paul's!
If my truck comes out looking half as good as a lot of them I see in here, I'll be happy. Now, do I get a discount since I'm a member of the board?
Hey! Never hurts to try right??? As far as the driving down there goes, the reason I wanted to do that is for the fact I worked in a distribution center for years and I know how Brown (UPS) likes to play "package javelin" with all packages that come through their distribution centers. All the parts I'm going to order should ship fairly well but I'm concerned about the bumpers and rear wheel tubs for the truck box. I don't want my bumpers dented or scratched or the fender tubs banged around. How well are the bumpers wrapped when they come? Do they come with their own box or are they wrapped with lots of bubble wrap and packaging tape? Les, I'm hoping to call you by the end of the week with a final parts list and hopefully you could come up with a grand total for me and we can take it from there? Now I just have to get my body-guy in gear!
I'm hoping I can have my truck done in a month. I'll post pics for you guys before/after when it's all done. Now I just have to pick out my rims. I'm thinking of going with the american racing AR 767's (looking for a high-gloss steel ralleye). I would buy some factory 6 bolt ralleye's if people didn't ask so much for them. I can buy the AR 767's for $45 a piece at Discount Tire Co. and they're brand new. Who knows what you get when people sell you used wheels
. Anyways guys keep up the great work on this site and have a great day.
