Txstruck · 04-20-2003, 06:11 AM

I work with a guy whos 83 chevy short bed sits like that. His is bagged and notched.

BaggedC10 · 04-20-2003, 07:38 AM

Needs a cowl induction hood and billet grille IMO.

LOHRTBT · 04-20-2003, 09:06 AM

Looks good !

pkbinplano · 04-20-2003, 09:11 AM

Hey if I emailed you a pic of my truck would you do that to mine if you have time ? I'd like to see mine slammed, shaved and chopped.

Blue Beard · 04-20-2003, 10:14 AM

Is the bottom notched for speed bumps?

brad2 · 04-20-2003, 11:29 AM

That looks awesome! I have been dreaming of a bumper like that for a while myself. After finding out how much it cost to get one done I think I'll still be dreaming about it. I love the color on your truck, I never get tired of seeing it!

82BlackBeast · 04-20-2003, 11:51 AM

looks killer man!!! I'm with Brad, love that color!! I think you should try it with a cowl hood, see how it looks. I don't know if you have a decent side pic of mine but I'd interested to see how it would look dropped that low....

low 84 · 04-20-2003, 02:43 PM

i'll definatly be getting a cowl hood sometime and i think some gauges will be hinding under it.

pkb send me a pic - rncombs@neo.tamu.edu

low 84 · 04-20-2003, 03:04 PM

Does somebody make that bumper in chrome? I have been looking for one for awhile. I was going to try and make my own, but have not had a chance too.

If you where closer, I would trade you hoods + some boot. I'd prefer stock.

BigRed · 04-21-2003, 12:12 PM

Looks great (as always) Ryan!

I was watching Trucks TV one Sunday and Stacy showed how to do this. I have been trying to catch it again and record it. But it looked to be very easy. All he did was cut the domed head off of a carriage bole and weld it in the bolt hole. Then he just welded up the remainder of the hole, ground it smooth and had it re-chromed.

that part is easy, its getting rid of the license plate box that is hard

brad2 · 04-21-2003, 11:19 PM

But he also wants to get rid of the liscense plate area. The metal will have to be finished out perfectly before chromeing(lots of work). Plus if you start with a chrome bumper it will have to be chemically stripped. It's also my understanding that you don't just get a bumper chromed for $100. I don't know how they sell new ones that cheap but I have been told it is considerable more expensive than that to get one chromed. I could easily be wrong but that is what I have been led to believe.

i like the stock grill. i think the billet would look out of place until i get it flamed

ironwood · 04-22-2003, 04:47 AM

Chroming is very expensive if you only get a little bit done at one shot a guy I work with got a few pieces chromed for his Harley and all total with the machine work it came out to be $320. I think the machine work was $150 so, you do the math pretty expensive for three pcs. that are as big as a cell phone(small one)

**old Rusty C10** · 04-22-2003, 10:05 AM

yeah the truck is a gorgeous color i just cant see lowering it that much seems to me that ya couldnt use the truck on any kind of urban area where the streets are tore up and to me the purpose of a truck is for work hauling and stuff like that. i mean maybe a couple inches is cool but that far i know guys its all taste just aint mine and i dont mean to start a war with that comment here

*Randy70C-10* · 04-22-2003, 10:38 AM

Bob, that's the reason for using airbags. You raise it before you drive.

BigRed · 04-22-2003, 11:34 AM

Yeah, with Air Bags you get the best of both worlds!
