My truck is finished before and after pics
It is all done I'm just fixing little things and loose ends.
Thanks to rustyold72 for help with the pics. Thanks also to the guys at GMC Pauls, and Tim Christian for the excellent parts and service. 99% of the new parts on my truck came from these guys. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are more pictures in my link

We shaved the mirrors, emblems, antenna and gas filler. I was planning on leaving the mirrors off, but after driving a few days I'm thinking of doing the small Billet specialities mirrors.
My goal was to have a stock looking truck with just a few custom touches. I wasn't sure about the Med Green at first, but it has really grown on me. ![]() I built the truck to show off my shop and for advertising. The shop manager is starting to wonder about me because I spend so much time polishing and cleaning it.:p

windows
I got the windows from GMC Pauls and I believe they are a Brothers kit. The install was not as easy as I thought it should be, but they look cool. The right side rolls up hard even with a new GM regulator. If I had to do it over again I would skip the one piece window kit and spend the money on some thing else.
I swapped the step side bed to another board member in Dallas. It was a sweet bed, but I was wanting the two tone paint. What is sad is I think I want a 4x4 now so I may sell or trade it for a 3/4 ton 4x4 and paint it with a wicked custom camo paint job.

Beautiful. The two tone on the short fleet is great. What color is the green?

WOW! You should be VERY proud of that. As said above, you had a sick truck to start with, and this is just above and beyond. You should be VERY proud of the truck you have now. I hope mine looks that nice somday. One full-fledged "Attaboy" from the Vermont contingent.

Great work, Great job and thanks for the HEADS UP on that one piece window install. I like my vent windows anyway, but every so often I've thought about it. Now I'll simply FORGET about it!

Did the bed already have the mounting holes for the trim? How was it to add all the trim it did not have? Thought about doing that myself, but not sure if it is worth it just to get a two/tone paint job. Thinking of other alternatives to adding the trim. Looks great!
