Does your tailgate function correctly with the back bumper pulled in so far?

Re: ojoe's crewcab shortbed build

Needs the GMC emblem. The GMC grilles are much better than the chevy. The Stull is OK but outdated. Maybe a lazer cut flames in stainless? Then you can send me the GMC grille... I promise to treat it well...

If you want to 'date' something, put one of those 'stainless flames' grilles in. The Stull may not look modern, but it still looks good.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I think that with the molding and the GMC grill, it will make people that are not in the know if GM really did may one of this from the factory.

Awsome truck, your grill and tailgate/bumper treatment is the way I went on my old dually in the mid 90's, except that you finished yours....I never got the solid band and the handle flipped...
