Arrow my latest project...

This is my 1989 K1500 Z71, it is my daily driver and i plan to keep it around for a very long time.

and here is a list of what was done;
-body was stripped completely down, the bed off the frame and repainted the factory metallic blue
-replaced the windshield because it was sandblasted and had a sliding rear window for enjoyment
-all molding minus the bumper trim was stripped
-the bed, under the door, kick panels, inner fender wells and frame were done by LINE-X
-Bushwacker fender flares
-new treads, 285/75-16, nothing crazy just a tire that had good reviews and that i could drive year round with no problems( im in maine and do alot of camping/hiking up north)
-i refinished the factory grill, removing the chrome
-all emblems were shaved
-all the factory lenses were buffed to try and bring a shine back to them but ill be replacing them eventually
-interior hasnt been touched yet, it needs new carpet now that i let my sister drive it while i was overseas but other than that it has no cracks,fading, tears or wear whatsoever
-the entire truck has been undercoated

To give a little background on the truck, I purchased it from a woman whos husband I serve with. She was the 2nd owner and her uncle being the 1st. He was/is a GM tech and kept immaculant care of this truck it first 19 years in texas with the exception of the sun fading and oxidation on the roof and hood. He replaced the motor and transmission shortly before i bought it so there was no need to touch it, just a swap of fluids and tune up. The only thing that was replaced was the exhaust with a flowmaster by th eprevious owner
