I pulled a duh...the first bumper I did was off a 78...straight...unlike the 84 that is a vee shape. set it up to the truck and realized the mistake...3 hrs shot in the rear, oh well...

I agree it looks like it belongs on an S10. Workmanship looks good though.

thanks for the comments! I like the roll pan look but they provide zero protection therefore....

I like it! Want to cut up my 81 for me? :)
Your truck is really coming along man, the gloss black stripe across the hood is cool! I think that by bring the bumper in it shows more of the fender. (No pun intended since you have fender license plate)

Looks good. Do you have a rollpan out back? Also did it take alot of work to use a ford rear sway bar with a flipped axle?

I didn't know what to think of it at first, but I think I like it now. Nice work!

I'm like yes, no, yes, no, yeeeaah, ah heck I don't know. Even though I'm not sure about the bumpers, I do like the overall look of the truck.

I think while I was doing all the cuttng and welding I would have been forced to put some big round driving lights in it. I feel that would really enhance the road racer look.

If you really want to be unique, find one of the old Hickey Enterprises fiberglass hoods for it.
