The rubber ones, not the steel hard lines

Nice truck. It's yours so you can do what you want, but having said that, remember none of the fleet option items are reproduced. I like your plan to drive it basically as is then decide. Another option down the road would be to keep it, and find the same year in a GMC to rod and keep them both for comparision. I would bet if you showed them both the Fleet Option would get the most attention!

Oh yeah, I guess that was kind of a silly question. I seldom think about those rubber ones I suppose because they dont rust like the hard ones. But that doesnt mean they dont fail, just like the hard ones do from time to time.
