Not! Actually, the lights behind the grill are old Dick Cepek 185,000 candle power driving lights Yes, they are bright! Here's a pic from a few years ago when I was mounting them. As for the head, after having 3 shops tell me they wouldn't do just the valve stem seals in the head I did locate, I went ahead & put the original head back on. I checked everything with a straightedge & all was good. I think the head gasket was the only problem. Torquing the head down in the van was not fun,but I did manage to get it done. Has been running a week now & drove it almost 200 miles up & back to the EconO West event Sat. Ran 175-180 & still seems to run real nice. Brad

Are you going to keep it lifted or lower it down? Will it be used for work,fun,camping etc? there are lots of ideas here on vanning.com & you might also look at my sites. They are listed in my sig. Welcome & good luck.Brad | | | Re: Official GM owner's picture thread..... | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 514 addict | addict Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 514 | i think it would look great by a chrome grille , paint job , chrome exhaust tips and a windshield visor . without going overboard , but yet it would complete the exterior keeping 99% stock except for visor . there ya go a brand new van . and maybe even paint rims same as van with new chrome lug nuts . yea thats it . good luck with it.
