Before and after-84 K10-Work in Progress
 
:help:Just got some new wheels put on (15x10wagon wheels for free) and painted the lower half high gloss white, and the grille white:chevy:

thinking about taking the Headache rack and toolbox off of it-dunno yet, those lights come in handy at night, decisions decisions


Thinking about adding a cab band to the back, and painting the roof white-any opinions?

here are some before photos

Wondering if it would look better without the toolbox and rack

I think it is looking better with the 81 grille though-don't see to many around now a days.

Just got done putting PT cruiser seats in it too. alot better than the bench

will post pics of that later

Nice truck and good progress.

Thanks Rusty :)

Very good question
I replaced the oem grill etc, just forgot to get a set of replacement turn signals.

I may just get some amber LED strips and put them in the front somewhere, I still have the turn signal houses, no place to mount them though

just finished painting the roof, adding a cab band, and installing the LUND sunvisor :)

paint was $12,(one can had a broken nozzle-can't swap it for one that works unfortunately)

Toolbox is off right now, I think I may just leave it off though, gives me a lot more room for when I load furniture, lumber or any number of things

Think the white looks alot better, and helps break up the gold :)

I thought the visor wouldn't help, but it actually does help! I don't have to drop the big old visors in the cab! meaning I won't accidentaly knock the rear view off every sunny day

here are some befores

got a gun rack from an older chevy, pretty neat as it is all metal and coated in a rubber material, not like the cheap plastic stuff out there now a days lol
Going to hang my fishing poles up there for now :)

longbed with wood inside, it wass all rotted out, Think it would look good on the back of mine, but the wood is almost gone :(
