Flip kit out back and 3''drop spindle up front with some coil work. 2 and a half cowl induction hood, 3d taillights, edelbrock intake and carb, and started to shave a few things. Thats it for now until i get the roll pan and billet grill. Then paint

Re: Finally some changes

The 83-84 grille is the best looking grille from 81-87 in my opinion. There was a post on here probably over a year ago that a guy did a billet grille and kept the center trim from the stock grille. It was the best looking billet grille insert I have seen .

Re: Finally some changes

You can probably cut out the 2 or 3 bars where the stock center bar goes and then re mount it. I am just guessing at this without seeing it. But that might help you get headed the right direction. It would look nice on your truck.
