Planning on buying new inner fenders, new gmc core support to fix the rusted out places in the front end of the truck. Going with a raptor lined color matched bed liner for the inside of the truck bed. It’s going to be very nice and when the cargo light hits it, it’s going to glisten and shine at night

Had an issue with the drivers side exhaust manifold, it cracked in half. Never seen anything like it. But it’s a first for me

Going to have the steering column rebuilt as well. The transmission is leaking from every where possible.

The front brakes and suspension will be replaced, painted semi gloss black and make it look new. The rest of the suspension and brakes will also be replaced as I’ve mentioned before

The engine will just be rebuilt since everything else is. Stock specs and colors. Air conditioning conversion kit. New radiator and hoses throughout the engine bay. 1 wire alternator too.

Keeping this truck basically stock. Just upgrading things for reliability and safety issues

I am so excited to have all of this work done
