Thanks!

Got the locks put on the toolbox. I should have the paint for it in a couple of weeks and I'll be able to put the box in for the last time I hope

Did my write up on the Cali Roll make sense to you? Just curious.

I just read that today. Yeah I get it. It's with a conventional. When I get an extra minute, I'll ask more about that school in that thread.

Drivers door handle broke so I Ordered a set of '99 denali door handles from Rock Auto. I'll be colormatching them and installing hopefully by end of year if they get here quick enough. I also hope to get spray in bed liner done by end of year as well.

Did the pot metal break? They were kind of notorious for that on GMT400s if I recall. Truck is still looking great as always (looking at your tint pictures).

No. Externally the handle looks fine. I think the piece that connects to the rod internally broke cuz now the handle kinda flops around :lol: once I get the new handles put on and get her cleaned up I'll try and get some better pics of it. I do think the tint is a big improvement. :)

Looking good! Makes me want to ask my uncle if I can buy his OBS.

I vote go all white on the color. I think it will turn out nicer in the end because your jams are already white. It will make the process easiler, IMO, and your paint guy will thank you. I think these trucks look great in white overall.

Some well thought out color-matching using that two-tone would be fabulous too. But, that is just me. It's your truck.
