Thanks for the complements. It was a long year to get it ready before 2016-17 plowing season. As you can see I did put some of the outside trim on the box and the short pieces on the cab. It ran very well last night and this morning plowing so hopefully that is the end of the carb/fuel tank issues. I am surprised no one asked about the trim install around the bottom of the rear window. I had to grind off the original chevy trim mount studs and weld on the studs in the correct positions for the GMC trim. It was interesting to get all those studs welded in so that they lined up for the trim to slide through.
