Ive got one too, but i think it looks cleaner without. I might look for a gmc gate, or smooth this one.

That would be pretty cool.

Re: Green Mile

Its been a little while since an update. Ive decided to take on painting the truck. So im slowly stripping the interior, some exterior molding. Next will be glass, and the box is gonna come off etc. Most of the heavy lifting will wait until we have some solid spring weather. In the mean time ive been playing with the rear ride height. I moved the front perches back to the original belltech hole, added 4 degree shims to get the pinion angle back, and changed the rear tire size to match the fronts, 235/75/15's. I think it looks way better now, not goofy like before. I also took some pics of the 88-98 style center caps to see how they look opposed the the factory centers. I think they look way better. Ive also been working on doing a half assed custom cluster. I had a set of gauges from my 75 trans am parts car, so im going to use all the gauges and fit them into the stock cluster. Pics to come. Anyways, here are a recent pics.

Once in a while I toy with the idea of selling. Ive just got other toys in the garage that are supposed to have priority over the pickup. That being said, I get all sentimental and take it off before to long and end up doing more work to it, haha. Everything is always for sale.

Re: Green Mile

I saw it on kijiji as well before it disappeared later the same weekend. PM if you want to really sell it (I'd even give you a buy-back option at the same price for a while in case you change your mind again!)

I'm moving to Calgary this month....will get my truck on the road again after that and will go for a drive out to Strath to say hi one day this summer.

I never thought the add would make its way back to guys on the forum, now 2 reply's, haha. Once you get settled if you get a chance, it would be cool and meet up. Maybe by then I will know what to do with the crew cab.
