This one of my favorite builds that you’ve done! I love the GM trucks. If I ever ditch the Escalade and go with a pickup, it will be a pearl white loaded Denali.

It is my favorite truck so far!

I bought a new '90 Chevy Suburban and, within a year, the paint was peeling. GM authorized a local body shop to completely strip the paint off the body and repaint it. Very nice job the body shop did. Pretty much all car makers suffered thru this.

[@Mishn0]

You could probably protect the welding wire just as well by wrapping it around a couple of dowels. That would give you a better grip too. Just saw a foot off of the end of the Wandering Gnome's push broom handle. Just had a legit LOL. I used to have a '89 S-10 in blue and silver. It had to go back to the dealer for a complete repaint before it was six months old. The paint peeled off in SHEETS. Like the whole truck was sprayed with WD40 between the primer and the paint. Even then, the front corners of the box rails rusted completely through in less than a year. I asked about warrantying that and the dealer was really a-hole about it and I could tell I'd be without a truck for at least a month, so I let it rust.

[@vehcor]

You bought a blue and silver truck. Little did you know colors were temporary at that time! 😂
