And for a couple of bucks I repainted my bowtie to match the truck.



This reminded me of another mod I did on my 86 K10-I used 88-91 Suburban wiper arms with the built-in washer spray nozzles and retainer-it keeps you from shooting fluid at the glass and instead flows along with the blades as they move up/down. Cost me $5 for the wiper arms at the junkyard.
