Welcome to the board, where are you from?

Brainchild 10-15-2004 08:34 PM

Frenched electric antennea.
Fill in the taillights,add a rear rollpan,and relocate the tail light to the rollpan.
Shave the doorhandles,and maybe swap them for a latermodel car doorhandle.
Add a 3rd brakelight in the cargo light area.

Other nice features would be Fuel injection,electric windows,power seats,electric rear slider,delay wipers.
Remove the dashpad,and fill it in solid.Man there are a ton of things to do.

Wont make it stand out but it will stop better....front disc brakes! Could give more wheel opts.

Welcome from So. Cal. :bowtie:

I forgot to say that nothing adds more pop than a nice shiny paint scheme.Some flames,graphics,chrome,and clean lines all make for a beautiful truck.

Randy70C-10 10-15-2004 09:52 PM

The reason I asked where he's from is because of the way he writes, some of you older members might remember Tony Pardue. :D

Check the paint and body forum. The caddie tail lights look pretty cool.

the-parts-guy 10-16-2004 12:47 AM

i am from sask, canada i own my own small body shop

HeavyD 10-16-2004 03:25 AM

Paint it lime green, like my old 1971 Chev C10 that was specially ordered that way. I had all sorts of attention and stares, whether I wanted them or not. Friends, relatives, and my date all complained about how ugly the truck looked...so I waxed it to make it brighter :D

HeavyD 10-16-2004 03:26 AM

You picked the right place for info, there's a ton of it here. There are also several members from your neck of the woods on here.

I in no way mean any offence,,, But I would think a Body shop owner would be giving ideas on things to do, and would already know what kind of a job smoothing the drip rails would be..

Pardue Huh ????!!!!

the-parts-guy 10-16-2004 07:41 PM
