Love It!

I wish they still offered it....the BEST color for not showing dirt, it always looked clean. :thumb



The best part? It's not one of the millions of Pewter trucks/cars out there. Hate that color, should be puke instead.

big golden delicious :drink

I test drove an 04 lb7 that was gold. i didn't love it, but i liked it better than the pewter that it seems like 50% of these trucks are. it was definitely interesting.
sorry i'm late to the party lol.:drink i felt the same way about this truck when i bought it four years ago. i didn't like the color but it was such a good deal i couldn't pass it up. i have an arrival blue one also, i kinda like having trucks that don't look like everyone else's and, well, it's safe to say it has grown on me....

i went with the chrome look on mine with escalade handles, color matched mirror covers, chrome wheels and i left the chrome moulding strip that gmc uses. but i would have to say on a chevy, i think a black look would look really good.

Well Duh!
Powder coat Sandstone Gold Metallic to match! :thumb

....if i did the bumper i would have to do the mirrors and the handles also!
Of Course! Along with the front bumper upper and lower, leave the chrome. :thumb
It'd be one of a kind, and Sharp.

yep they are. i got them shortly after they came out because nobody else had them and BOOM there is a ton of people around here who got them. maybe a guy is better off getting a set of wheels that are old and everybody got sick of lol. truck looks good man. since you have the chrome look going you ever think about a set of aftermarket tail lights with the chrome in them?

i can't stand the amber in the gmc ones so i had plans to do chevy ones. i haven't seen the chrome ones. you got a link?

Thought you were asking about one of the other rigs.... exhaust is just a 14" ss tip. I expanded it just enough to almost fit over the tailpipe, heated it up & slipped it on and it's there to stay, no screws or welds. It sticks out a little more to keep soot off the right side of my nice white fifth wheel.

they look pretty good...wish i could see them installed
