Thank you for the offer. I am lucky to have a wife that is a nurse at the same hospital. They hooked me up with all the good drugs 
just kidding, but I did get alittle more VIP treatment.
Thanks again Marty.

Looking Great!!! Those PYO's look a little smaller, probably because the tires are a bit smaller than what was on there?
What is the temp of the stock thermostat? I know hotter = better mileage, but I noticed no adverse affects when I went from 195* to 180* on my Bonneville.

Tire on PYO are a little smaller dia. Stock Tstat was 190* i believe, so I may not get a noticable increase. On the 96 I went from 180* to 195* and increased MPGs by 3 to 4 MPG.
When you say Boniville do you mean "Pontiac" gasser? You probrably wont see much diff on that.
I got my crawfish boiler and some Purple Power out. Time to cook up some 6.5 parts!! Pic to follow later.

Yup, a 3.8L Supercharged that runs on 91 Octane Premium Gasoline.
Can't wait for more pics!

Parts boil. Before pictures
Pictures are not in any order but you get the idea. 50% water 50% Purple Power. Bring it up to a boil and salt to taste.
Load up the part into basket.
FFM very dirty
FSU, you will be amazed at the after photo.

Some more progress on the K47 upgrade.
Bought the AmsOil Nano fiber filter from Ashton. Looks like a realy nice part. Even us vendors support each other when we can
Fits in the K47 box perfectly.
Good view of the air filter gauge.
Mocked up an a GM-8
All I need to do now is put it back on the truck.

It does look green in the picture?? but in person its the same exact color as the upper intake in pic's above
Installed kodiak fronts today.
Got the driver front done today. The fronts are alot harder to remove than the rears because of the extra lock rod. The install of the Kodiak front is simple. Much easier than installing the stock type handle.
I think they look great, but I always go for the utilitarian look. All the doors fully close with just a slight push. If you start the door from 6" away from closed position you can almost just let loose of the door and it will close tightly.

Got a gauge hooked up so I can read my fuel PSI. With the new Walbro it is 10PSI and drops to 5PSI at WOT.
Also, got a new OPS and an OPS extension hose installed. The stock OPS is a major PITA on a 94. Not anymore :hihi:
Got a brand new grill, lenses, park lights and filler panels installed.
This is the before picture.
This is the after. See anything different?
Got the front air dam installed too.
New grill parts.

Why'd you go to the 88-93 grille? I much prefer the 94+ grille, but that's just me...
Everyone will have there own opinion. Mine is the 94&^ Chevy had one of the uglyest grills ever made. But, I think the GMC grill is very nice.
I do like the 92-93 Chevy grill though and it is a throw back to the 1972 trucks. Also, Im bias toward the 93 because that was my first diesel.
