Did a nice job on the fenders, wonder if it's two fenders grafted or if he just fabricated the originals to work. Cool truck though

It looks to me like they also grafted on the front of the newer style hood to the original hood for the truck. Otherwise it would not have matched the contour of the grill, and it is noticeable different than an oem hood.

After a second look, looks like they made the newer hood fit the older truck...must have been a huge PITA!

never notice before, but in other pics grille has been reworked as well. closer to matching curve of original grille and i would assume sectioned, not sure witdth differences between the two models. massive amount of work given rest of truck is stock.

Re: 94 chev grille in a square body.. not mine

I like it, but it looks too small in the front. IDK why but every time i scroll back to it, it reminds me of a ford.

Re: 94 chev grille in a square body.. not mine

A company made a kit. It could be a kit conversion. Though possible, it would be expensive and time consuming to convert. Well we know, we can be nuts when we want to make changes to our trucks.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

I agree, and it is a whole lot less work and money to do the 89-91 Suburban / Blazer swap too.

Re: 94 chev grille in a square body.. not mine

I think it looks kind of cool. Defintely different. I agree it had to be a lot of work to do. I've seen a lot worse outcomes of morphing two styles together, and this one is pretty neat.
