Well after almost 6 months with this truck I have finally worked up the motivation to post a build thread for it on here. I picked up the truck locally here in Edmonton and sold my 2004 ext cab. Just to recap here is my old truck when I sold it.
And here is my current truck when I got it.
I did a few little things just to clean it up a little and make it my own. I removed the factory step bars and added a power lock to the tailgate. Repainted the a-frame behind the grille as you can see above all the paint was gone from becoming too hot I'm guessing. I also replaced the rusty rear bumper.
I replaced a couple of the handles that were sticking and also installed the ISGM655 Bluetooth adapter for the radio.
The picture above sparked a full led conversion inside and outside. No pictures for these but this also included led signal lights. These are all high quality GM specific LEDs from hidkitpros.com. Don't ask me how much they cost cause it makes me cringe.
The interior dash lights are a work in progress and I'm doing one piece at a time kinda just whenever I get bored. So far I have the cluster and climate control done.
Replaced the bumper lights because the orange pissed me off.
Installed MBRP cool dual exhaust a few weeks ago. This kit is for a 2500 6L because there are no half ton exhausts made for the Denali (which has the 6L but with the 5.5ft box unlike the 2500). But everything lines up just like it should so I'm not sure why all the exhaust manufacturers that I called told me none of their exhausts would work on my truck.

That is where I am at today. I know I am forgetting things. No more huge plans for it as of yet. I am currently working on a sub box and amp rack to fit behind the back seat. I move away to go to school in January for 2 months and I won't be needing my truck daily so that is when I plan to really tear in to the dash leds and get everything done.
Cheers
