Photobucket is the way to go lets you post nise big photos without having to resize on your computer first. Very easy and well worth it for posting on forums.
I am going to be doing the same conversion (I keep saying soon but I haven't jumped yet) to my C20, and I am curious if you had to change the lower control arms when you converted to 6 lug? I am planning on changing to 5 and have heard that a LCA change is needed. Trailing arms on a 3/4 ton is rare, that should be an easy mod. Mine is leaf suspended and am going to convert.
Are you planning on suicide doors? or are you going to put an electrically actuated mechanism on them?
I like the shaved drip rail look, was that a pain/ worth it?
