Here's one I saw at a show years ago. This is what I would like to do, but I would rather have a more frenched tag box like a Sir Mike's steel rollpan has.

That looks like it's been shortened/tucked in to the body a little bit. Nice.

It's beyond just that. It's been sectioned so it doesn't stick out as far and tucked up closer to the body, but it was made from 2 bumpers welded together to eliminate the recessed area for the license plate the stock bumpers have. Then they welded in the ugly license plate box.

Here's the bumper from a friend of mine on another forum. It's the same concept, welding 2 bumpers together and sectioning them and all that, but I think it's a much better looking execution than that first one I posted. He went this route because rollpans are illegal in Hawaii.

That is very nice. I definitely like the plate box better on the second one.

Yeah I believe the cap is urethane. They are the same exact thing as the aftermarket front bumper covers, but for the rear instead.

I've made up my mind, I'm going to go with one of these smooth style covers. They're so clean looking.

I'm also going to see about re-drilling some bolt holes and move the factory bumper up just slightly.

Actually, according to Street Scene's website, they're hand-laid fiberglass.

Hmmm, interesting.


Here's the website I was looking at. This one lists them as Urethane. Scroll a little ways down the page...

Since a majority of Street Scene's body styling parts are urethane I can understand why they could mistakenly list it as such. Without actually having my hands on one to verify, I'm going with what's listed on SS's website.

Could be urethane. Could be fiberglass. Somebody buy one and let us know. :lol:

:lol: I'm going to get one real soon, so we'll see!

I don't have much experience with urethane or fiberglass parts, so I'm kind of clueless on what is actually better.

Would definitely like to see more pics of those IROC rims!

What size are they? What are the backspacing on them?

What tires did you go with?

Thanks!

Here's my 90 GMC 3500. Not sure of complete plans yet but would like to spray it with black from body line up and white down. Possible air ride if I keep it that long.

Thanks Gordon..... she's came along way and still has a bit further to go.

I had plans to go with 18" wheels but they have been put on hold until after settlement and moving into a bigger home.

Dusty, I have always liked that color, especially on an ecsb Z71. It looks pretty rust-free for a third coast truck; has it spent its whole life in Pascagoula?

Yeah i love the color. Yep it's completely rust free.
As far as i know it was bought on a Chevrolet dealership here in Pascagoula new in 1995.
I got it in 2005

Grille, hood, fenders, lights, bumper. '99-'00 Cadillac Escalade. The '99-'00 GMC Denali uses the same sheetmetal, lights and bumper with just a slightly different grille opening.

You sure are digging up some posts from way back. That reply was posted nearly 400 posts ago.

That's the stock dash. His truck is a 2000. That particular dash ran from '97-'98 and on through '01 on some models that continued the bodystyle through then.
