I would be okay if that truck were new to me

I'm pretty excited about it. Outside is essentially done. Going to relocate rear bumper. Focus is on interior. At painter now. Going to match the exterior paint color for the metal and tan upholstery/carpet.

Vinny you messed up and used the "Done". Prepare for the fun to begin. I really don't see where that could come from but if ever use the done word that is when things get interesting. Oh yeah very nice truck.

True. Never done. Just ready for more money to be spent. Thanks for the correction. :)

What size of rims are those? I really like the stance on it.

That's a good looking truck, congratulations. I like your wheels, can you give us the particulars on them at all?

Thanks. I'm out of town and the truck is currently at the painter. Pretty sure they are 17s. I know they have different offset front and rear. Once I get back to town and can get over to the truck, I'll get the details on the wheels and will post them here in the thread.

After almost 9 months in "paint jail", I finally got my 56 back this week. Had the interior painted. The painter may do fantastic work, and know his stuff, but never again will I go to someone that can't properly manage his time. I know painters are a breed of their own, but this was completely unacceptable.

On a positive note, I've got the truck back in the shop now, and can quickly complete. I've got to install the new lockar shifter for the c6, install the seats, and do an under bed fuel tank. Then off to my upholstery guy!
