sadly the 2 side door handles are toast on the truck , i might have to look for a donor truck with good doors. or somehow fix these. handles still work but the sheet metal round handles got beaten up. but apart from few other dings scratches the truck is very clean and rust free, paint is great.

Glad to hear it. I was at a loss for what you were asking.

I had a '92 and a '95, both diesels. They started putting a cat on the '94-ups and they used the rod stock type hangers. I ordered a mandrel bent performance exhaust w/o the cat, which was an option. Turns out that was the earlier style exhaust with earlier style hangers. So, I had some tinkering to do. My trucks were single wheel regular cab K3500s. Same kit for extended cabs, came with a straight piece that fits in. Otherwise, the same system
