You do both of these and you could get away with running the full deluxe tailgate trim, maybe set the burb up with the full sierra grand trim package.

We all know burbs didn't come with beltline trim but for those not in the know it would be a nice subtle change that most people would have to do a double take to acknowledge.. Then all your missing is a nice two tone paint job to match, slam the thing on an air ride suspension running 18x10s in the front on 275s and run 20x12" on 315s in the rear. Probably torque thrusts would look best. I'd bet everyone would be scratching their head about that trim. Even those magazine guys that think they know everything!!

Kinda like this...............

Holy smokes information galore! That's awesome. I was not aware of all the different trim options. The tail light idea sounds great. A buddy already did this and it looks awesome. I love all the info and now have some home work to do!! The more I see the more I want to do. All I have to remember is KISS. Keep it simple stupid.

Ok.. now I'm drueling. That totally rocks. Much more realistic than me putting my hand over the pickup bed and trying to imagine!!!!

Where did you get these images. Is there more? Is there more info on this burb and the status of its build. I'm totally wanting to read up and follow this one. Cannot believe I trashed my roof rack. That thing even looks cool up there.. maaaann!!!!!

Good looking burb. I like the GMC front. Wish I lived closer thats the front end I want on mine. I have a 1970 Chev. I like the look of the 67 Chev front end but I already have one.
