Looks Good!

**special-K** · 03-08-2006, 08:51 AM

Nice going.Was it originally 2-tone or was the upper trim optioned out?I`m just curious.

HotRod71 · 03-08-2006, 08:53 AM

Looking pretty good.

krue · 03-08-2006, 08:57 AM

Gotta love a good looking GMC.

72Bob · 03-08-2006, 01:00 PM

Thanks for all the compliments!

I believe the upper trim is factory, since the truck had never been painted and I bought it from the 2nd owner since 1977.

As far as I know it was never a two tone truck, it's missing the chrome under the rear window.

Truck is looking very nice.

HeavyD · 03-08-2006, 02:32 PM

Looks good

**special-K** · 03-08-2006, 10:17 PM

Thanks for the answer.You see,SierraGrandes had the upper & lower mouldings.Sierras had both if it was 2-tone,but a solid paint Sierra only came with the lower.The upper trim must have been ordered as an option by it`s self.

Good looking truck!!

72Bob · 03-08-2006, 11:28 PM

special-K thanks for the tidbits. There is no markings on the glove box door for upper trim option, so it must have been installed by the first owner.
The upper trim look is pretty neat, I just need Wes to send me my new clips!

Yeah,I like the solid paint with upper/lower trim.Most have two-tone and it hides the trim some.Your`s is lookin`good.

**Yukon Jack** · 03-09-2006, 10:36 AM

Looks like a great one - glad she is back on the road and about done.

vtblazer · 03-09-2006, 04:46 PM

I really like the look of a solid with both upper and lower molding.
