Previous owner worked at a GM dealership and repainted it to match his Camaro! That is why it has 2010 rims, these came off his diesel.

I like the cleaness of the truck so much that I wont put decals on the side. Instead I am thinking about doing a screen on the back window. Does anyone have any advice on this? Is it tough to see out of at night plowing? Will it peel offf easily IF I have to scrap it?

Nice looking truck!
When I bought my old truck it had one of those one way see through American flag decals on the rear window. What a huge pita to see through unless it was dry and sunny outside. It annoyed me in the rain when the pores would fill up with water until you couldn't see through it. First snow storm and I couldn't take it any more and pealed it off.

I'll second this once all the little holes fill with water you cant see out the back window. I didnt have any issues at night just the water. I took mine off.

Really nice looking truck, i love the older GM trucks with the newer GM rims. Only one thing i dont like and thats the running boards, but still a super nice truck.
