After work today, I went over and put a stepside bed on my father's Sierra. Still need to finish the body work and paint it.

Got my truck on the lift over at my folks. The muffler has come apart... succumbed to the damage from the great driveshaft debacle. Have a new one on the way. Also replaced a section of crushed pipe from the same incident. Did a new transmission filter at the same time. Going to install larger transmission cooler too - trucool 40K.
The plugs are shot from detonation during tuning, have a set - just need to install. And the replacement MAF sensor is acting up, so I picked up a genuine GM part. Lastly, I am going to take measurements and order a beefier driveshaft. The truck should be ready for a final tune at that point.

Tailgate is painted and installed on the truck finally. Small progress here and there when I have time and the weather is agreeable.

I installed my new grille Friday. It's aftermarket and isn't the best, but it's better than the one my father leaned on and broke. I have yet to reinstall the bowtie. It's not the prettiest. I was considering painting it black, but not sure it will look the best. Then I started thinking maybe blue? Chevrolet cars and trucks from the late 60s had a blue bowtie. I took a picture of the bowtie on the grille of my 69' Malibu for reference. I think I am going to try to find some paint a similar color.
Thoughts?

BTW: Changed the front brake hardware on the old Malibu today. Brakes didn't feel right, lot's of rust around the clips holding the pads. Had to knock one pad out with a small hammer. I'll test it in a bit. Hope it's good, that's the car we'll tow behind the motorhome when you go to FL.
