[QUOTE=La Zona Imagery;6393181]My chrome grill and bumper came in the mail yesterday, so I installed them today. Damn the original bumper bolts were all rusted and frozen. I had to cut them off with a wheel cutter.

Looks great with the chrome wheels, definitely worth the money, x2 on the side trim, more bling the better

I love the way that looks, I've considered doing the same, what's your plan for the Pcv valve?

My friend and hot rod builder, Chip Quinn here in Phoenix, drilled the back of the manifold and built a baffle underneath. There will be a vent at the fill tube. I would give you more details but I am out of my league. Chip reads this thread and will chime in I am sure.

Man that looks sick tucked in the step.
Got one box side shortened up so I can start my 4 link and have the wheel entered. Still have a lot of work to make the tire fit properly.

Will sit here with no air. And the pinch weld is going off the rocker . Don't see changing a flat to be very fun!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 
:lol: Changing a flat, that is funny, just take the box off. Everything has something about it doesn't it, just like a lifted truck, a give and take, but all fun and cool at the same time.

That's why they're called "run-flats"..

I have 31" rear tires, and I was perfectly happy with wingnuts on the bed mounting bolts :lol: the guy building the backhalf decided it should tilt.

I had a long talk with Santa and Tom Langdon and they thought I was good enough for a new Split cast manifold for my 250 along with the new Webber 2 barrel carb with adaptors. This will keep me busy during the Christmas Holidays.
