Great attention to detail. It looks very realistic. And also like it's due for a tire change.

I wanted to ask where did you get the sierra classic emblems and GMC tailgate insert from or did you make them?

This is a beautiful build! I’m going to call it flawless! Top notch work for sure! Your attention to detail is excellent! 

As far as inconsistencies go this doesn’t have to be a factory fresh build but most likely a rebuild. Back in the late 80s and early 90s we built or rebuilt several of these trucks and Blazers. Granted they were all lifted, but one of the first things often done was to swap out the half ton axles for 3/4 or one ton axles. It wasn’t uncommon for the emblems to be taken from the donor truck and reinstalled on the axle recipient as well (it was a redneck status thing). We also had this two tone paint scheme without the trim (not factory of course) because the trim was usually beat up and the front fenders needed replacing, so the rest was removed. So at least in North Carolina you may come across a short bed truck just like this or even a Blazer badged as a 1 ton with 1 ton axles under it.

Excellent work again!
