funny thing is... I've met the guy who made that "kit".
It was in the Pasadena/ Houston Texas area.
his partner split with the molds and ended up making on
to fit the later model c1500 - called it an "el shaddia"
I know a guy that has one sitting in his warehouse still.
they started off with those firebird headlights, but got a later nose
change and used sealed beams after that.

Agree that it's not really my cup o' tea either

nice truck... tell us about the wheel/tire size and drop.
(look like boss 338's?)
- cant go wrong with that chevy blue and white 2 tone.. especially since you have all of the moldings!

That looks awesome! Goes to show these trucks don't need flashy big wheels to pull off a bada$$ look!

yezzi- killer truck!
chevymoto- I agree! I think our squares look more natural with 15s to 17s that show a little rubber!
**
my vote is chrome bumpers, the wide wheels/tires with the dog dishes!
nice!
