Re: Finally Out for a drive

21 gal blazer tank. Yeah state insp & plates on Monday. Finally got the wiring all working properly. Still waiting on rear bumper may have to preorder a step bumper from GMC pauls for the meet in June. Thinking about a skid plate for the tank too. Still need to install the eyebrow chrome for the fenders yet. Ohh yeah the ol gas tank filler supports a retractable antenna it needs wired too..Ohh well Rome wasn't built in a day either..

Re: Finally Out for a drive

I was trying to figure how many Mods I done. Calling anything not original to the truck when sold new. I came up with about 36 total that I can think of.
