[QUOTE="JB1, post: 2480, member: 185"] This was my dads truck that he bought new. He has health issues and doesn't drive any more. I been trying to get him to sell it to me for last couple years but for some reason he wouldn't, guess he always hoped he would get better and drive again.....[COLOR="Red"][B]truck only has 23,000 miles[/B][/COLOR] :D Long story short......last thanksgiving he got in the truck and was back up and move the truck over little then pull forward. Well his foot got caught brake pedal and on gas pedal and he ran right into the garage. Truck did pretty good but the garage not so much....anyway.....needless to say he handed me the keys and the title realizing that his days of driving were over. The truck has basically been sitting under oak tree for last 13 years, tree sap, limbs, bark took their toll on the paint, trim etc. I drove truck home and started disassembling front. Decided this was a perfect opportunity to do a front end swap since all parts needed to be repaired or replaced anyway. I ordered all GM parts except the Chinese park lamps lol, and did a fit up before taking everything to painter but only had him install the hood since other pieces were "custom fit". Got the truck Friday 5/16 and spent weekend putting back together. Still got to install lowering shackles and put on tires/wheels but just ran out of time. Anyway....been buying parts, doing tune up, hoses/rad fluid, cleaning it while I had time over last 5 months. [/QUOTE]
