Went down for a headlight adj.kit; cost me $486.
Well,actully I made the mistake of bringing the old work-truck along and I ended up getting a radiator,deluxe marker lights all 4 corners,tail and back-up lenses and bezels,new rv mirror (night+day),smooth chrome locking gas cap,battery junction box,center support for the drive shaft,"GMC" horn cap,wheel cylinder rebuild kit,and some misc.stuff, OH,and the headlight adjutment kit. $485.84
I got it all put on before noon this morning and I felt like I was putting lipstick on a pig. Hoping the neighbors even notice. Here's some before and afters;

'Lipstick on a pig'
 It is looking better!  I really like that gas cap!  I woulda passed on the headlight adjuster and done it by eyeball -- and used that $$ for a gas filler grommet ....

I didnt know you could get a repro rear view mirror. I was looking at mine today and wishing I had a new one. It looks like your before pic.

Re: Went down for a headlight adj.kit; cost me $486.
Thanks guys. The main thing was the radiator ($259) plus $39.09 sales tax!
The mirrors are available here http://www.truckandcarshop.com/trucks60_72/t60_045.html for $30. Now I need to get a little body work done and get to sanding it down.

Re: Went down for a headlight adj.kit; cost me $486.
Sure made a difference. Was the radiator a 3 or 4 core?
