Most of it. Still snows every few days but we’ve had rain too. I’m selling the Denali after I fix a few things, time for a new canvas!

LOL you go through vehicles so fast it's hard to keep up. Order one, wait 6 months for it to arrive, drive for 3 months, sell, repeat,.... :rofl:

I really just enjoy building/making vehicles look better. There is no car dealership here so I’m usually able to sell locally for whatever I paid including shipping when I keep them only a year.

Denali payments get old and looking to replace it with a 70s F100 to build as a daily. Wife loves the Range Rover and it’s paid so I’ll keep for

70s F100 > Denali so I'll endorse this endeavor LOL :) Old iron is infinitely more interesting than almost anything newer so that's cool. And if you're at least breaking even on these transactions then who can argue with that :)

I'd think a little more then break even. You're supplying the area with a cool vehicle.

EDIT--That only is worth some extra $$$

I brought up 5 in the last 4 years and I can drive any of them today if I want to lol friends are always in line to buy my old rides [emoji23] ‘when are you selling the next one??’

Hoping to buy someone’s half done project so I can save a little and finish it off how I want to. Long box so I can throw a snowmobile in there, something like this with some lift and tires will be nice.

Nothing like an old pickup truck. I'm definitely not a Ford guy but the Ford trucks were a pretty good looking truck in the late 70's for sure. The 80's weren't too bad either being pretty boxy and such then the 60's were pretty neato, too. They jumped the shark for me in 98 (or whenever that was) when they got all round and ugly looking. I'd definitely rock a late 70's Ford. :waytogo:

Yup I don’t like ford but I’ll drive anything pre 80s.I do prefer a 70s ford over a c10 or k2. My friend has an 86 which is what made me start looking at them in the first place. He also bought my old ltz and h3t from me lol.

I’m kind of looking for one that someone dropped in a nice crate motor/trans and then ran out of money to finish lol

Front magnaride shocks are leaking and honestly weren’t great in -30c anyways, going to try these out with shock simulators. Rancho 2” lift strut so It’ll just replace the current strut + level kit. These were cheap so not expecting much but don’t wanna spend if I’m selling soon.

Been a while.. haven't done much to it. Gonna keep it for the winter I guess. New battery for the winter. We're back to ice roads until May.

Finally wired up my switch for light bars lol been using the ugly stick on switch since I put them in. Turned out decent it's one of the $3 Amazon ones

With your winters do you have to replace your battery yearly?

Blew the engine Feb 2020 and still haven't been able to find a replacement 6.2. Anyone know where I can get one? Even GM told me it's 'unavailable'... wtf? Wreckers have the engine sold before they even receive the truck lol.

Picked up this 06 for free from a friend. Slowly going through it and needs a lot of small things but I have a donor for it so I have been swapping parts when I have time, I am trying to do the front and rear suspension this week. Needs a front bumper and windshield too but looks decent with tint and steps removed. After I paint handles and mirrors I will try and bring the paint back to life

Try Texas speed or something like that. Get a new long black and swap the rest over from yours

Getting there... Painted handles from the donor truck and bowtie. Is it worth the effort to sand down the mirror housings for paint?

Was thinking to do the bumper cap and rear appliques as well but I had to order more paint. Also got these OEM flares off a truck heading for scrap that I will paint. Once everything is painted I will try and compound/polish the body.

Waiting for the valance and new set of headlight/turn/fog housings

Color match good.
I vote yes on CM mirror caps and rear aopliques. Pretty much anything but the rear bumper pads were CM’d on my NBS.
