Some pics. I wish GM would put nice upfitter switches in like this with built in relays. Such a pain in the dick having to wire and install all this stuff considering ford has had them for like 15 years or so now.

Switch in the middle looks higher...:poke:


Lol...:D


Truck looks killer by the way...
Ha. I didn't exactly put a laser level on it so it might be.
It's pretty plain truck. Just a levelling kit. Looking at wheel and tire options right now as the pensioners are pretty much done for. Looking at 35/12.5r20 Amp M/T on 20x9 Cali Offroad Busted wheels with an 18 offset but not sure if they will fit without a lift. At the very least I'll just buy them in a 275/60r20 and put them on the stockers for now.

I had a 24" lightbar as well on the deck but it sucked and then someone else decided they needed it more and jacked it. Left the brackets and cut the wire about an inch from the housing rendering it practically useless though. Going to put a couple of large rigid spots on there instead. They left the rearward facing ones for some reason.

STF which was a local central Alberta company made it in 2002. They've long since gone out of business but the welder that actually built this one runs his own strictly Aluminum shop now so I use him when I need Aluminum work done. I refinished the deck and had it powder coated last year. Still one of the best decks I've seen for it's age though.

Those will look good, but I suggest going 22". These trucks are so big the 20's still look smallish.
I run alot off pavement and roads up here suck some places so I want the extra rubber in the sidewall. Plus tire availability cost and selection in a 22 is less than ideal round here.

Not a whole lot. Put a can of 134 in it. Ac is nice and cold now. And put my tag cover on. I’m a bit out of commission at the moment. Not sure what I’ve done but I can barely move my back. My left shoulder sits about 2 inches higher and 3 inches off center of my right now. I look like someone took a baseball bat to me and bent me sideways :roflmao:

I have a question for you savvy gents. 14 lml work truck. It's a 2500 with 175k on it and my is it used and put up wet. So drove to work and it had been running 5min before I left. Get to the stop light and the rpms bounce 3-500and the truck randomly lurches like the converter is locked up and not unlocking...could possibly need a fuel filter but not sure. Chevy said nothing is wrong but I'm not retarded. Any thoughts
