Unfortunately the GMC grill was bent and rusty so needed to be replaced, I was quoted around $1,000 for a replacement landed into the UK as they are so large. I found the Chevy grill about 2 hours from my house with all the bits except a core support for roughly $128. My core support needed to be replaced anyway, and the Chevy one was the same price from LMC, so I bit the bullet and bought that in.

For the suspension, I've got in a Jaguar independent rear suspension system which has disc brakes and a limited slip diff. It's pretty popular over here as Jags are so cheap to break.

Good idea, will head over shortly and do that

It turns out that the truck was bought into England in the 80's by the US Armed Forces, I don't know much department or why, but that might explain why the bed isn't the factory correct one.
