Update: I hate the fact that I've got to put the truck in the hands of the local shade tree mechanic. It has been at his shop for over a month without any work started on the brakes. On the bright side I was able to title and register it at DMV, it was a total of $23 per year, life is good. I've been considering putting some civi 9.00 20's on it, I have some concerns about the rear duelly's bumping without spacer's (comments, thoughts). I plan to go to better tires once I can assure its going to play well with the other rigs in the yard. As for paint the local paint shop said something about $4500 to make it O.D., I said nice knowing ya! I'll paint it myself once my brake and other's are done.
I really wish I had more mechanical abilities, if there's any ss guys in my area that could work on it at a rate I could afford to pay, let me know. I would really be grateful to have the help!!!
