I guess I should add my plans for it only include replacement bug shield, because I like the looks, put the factory single exhaust back on (that I actually still have) and put some 99-02 Chevy wheels with the stock 265/75/16 tires and call it good. Just a good ole stock tough as nails truck.

Hope you can get it. Looks like a good truck.

Well, the guy won’t sell. So I guess I just have to be content knowing that it’s still mostly in good shape, and maybe he’ll get it fixed one day.

I didn’t actually talk to the guy, I could never get anyone to answer the phone at the shop. My dad is the one who was actually able to talk to someone. I’ll ask him.

I too had a Z71 my senior year high school. It was a 95 white reg. cab stepside on 33" bfg's. Trespassed every where I could just to find a mudhole in that thing. Ran over a few mailboxes too lol Sorry it didn't work out. I did sell the Z71 to buy an 87 K10 and wish I had that back.

A Rally Nova isn't a common sight and neither are those old Appliance steelies.

I just read through this thread, and the Appliance wheels on @Catbox Nova caught my attention. I picked up a '73 Monte roller 2 years ago that came with a tired old set of Appliance wheels. I kept them and may run them on my Monte Carlo this summer.

I wish I still had the Appliance wheels.
I ended up selling them after I put my 16 inch Rally wheels on the Nova.
