Thanks. My intentions were to make this build my way. I wanted to retain the classic style these trucks are known for. I was looking for a yellow that had a green tint similar to the original color, I had my paint shop custom mix a color for me. It seems like the corvette yellow is a common choice. I wanted to have a color no one else has.

I do have a bolt in C-notch. That is the only thing I've cut. Most people will say it doesn't devalue the truck. I am going to make a few improvements to the air system, like bag brackets. I did make the mistake of ordering the wrong kit--or should I say the kit from the wrong company. I am going to be replacing those parts with some that function more efficiently. This suburban has been in my friend's family for 26 years, hopefully it will be in mine for 26 more.
