Well finally the new stuff arrived!! I'm a happy man

A new outer grill and a new Dash pad!!

Now all I need is more $$$ for the paint job

Sweet! Finally able to get rid of that wrong grill!
What color you thinkin of going with on it?

Edmond · 01-24-2003, 03:09 PM

Yep, the wrong grill is out the door

I'm not sure yet what color it's gonna be...
I have a top three now with favorites:
1-All Black
2-Dark Green Metallic/White
3-Midnight Blue Metallic/White

Midnight Blue Metallic is also the color of my Camaro, and I really
like that color.

White goes ofcourse between the upper and lower moldings

So for now Black is the favorite....but i have changed my mind before, so who knows what it will be next time

Cya,
Edmond

I new a new outer grill also. Where did you get it, and how much did you pay?

Edmond · 01-24-2003, 05:54 PM

Well because I'm from the Netherlands it's a bit difficult to order parts.
Smaller parts are easiers for me to order from GMC Paul, and I have done so in the past, and will do again in the future. (I still need loads of parts...)
Bigger parts like bumpers and grill are more difficult, due to the size and weight. Plus the tax once it is delivered to my house.
So I always go to The Speedshop and they can deliver me all the parts I need.
I believe they have a shop in the US also and have weekly containers with parts coming from the US to Belgium. For me it's a 100 mile drive to the shop, but it's much cheaper than shipping cost and taxes if I let it deliver to my house.
I do not know where they got it from to be quite honest, but I do know the price, and it was not cheap. $475, but you must not forget, that includes shipping costs.
Sorry for the long story, and I couldn't even really help you...

Cya,
Edmond

Your color choices are much like mine. I must say though, solid blue looks pretty sharp on these trucks.
I am leaning to black myself.

where are you at in Holland? When I was in the army stationed in Germany I had a girlfriend from Alkmaar and we'd go up to her parents place quite a bit. Beautifull country. Ive spent more time around Alkmaar and in Amsterdam than I can remember...literally !

I'm from Capelle aan den IJssel which is next to Rotterdam. (Info on Rotterdam)

I have friends who live in Alkmaar. When they look out there window, they can see the famous cheese market. Perhaps you know that?
