Cool Lets talk 1970's, 80's 90's truck stuff neon graphics, roll bars and monster trucks.

Alright so I follow a page on Facebook that is specific to photos of old 1970's 1980's 1990s style trucks of all brands withthe big lifts, double roll bars, lights, neon colored graphics and all that crazy stuff from back in the day. So I thought I'd like to counter the wide offset wheel trend and break the mold so to speak and give my truck a 1980's flair to it. I went to the junkyard and saw a Sububan with an old faded to pink Deflecta-Sheild bug deflector but I couldn't remove it because someone had taken the entire hood latch assembly out of it without popping the hood first.

So long story short we drove around the junk yard a bit and stopped at another building and low and behold I got something even better, an almost mint Kenco bug shield for $10 bucks. So I then took it home and loosely mocked it up against the hood of my truck. Now I just need to think of a design and a name to have painted onto it.

I also scored another Kenco bug deflector today for $10 but it was an even sweeter deal, was brand new, never out of the box. the kid didn't even know what color it was and neither did I til I got it home and pulled out out of the box, it was red, I was so pumped haha. I had thought it was blue due to the plastic overwrapping bubbling up in spots, he told me he thought it was a smoked clear visor. I've also got some headlight covers on order as well.

So give me some ideas on a name for this thing and post up any old photos you have of trucks from back in the day. I love seeing them no matter what brand. I've been thinking of using "Heavy metal thunder" or "Nightrain" or I saw a truck someone had years ago and put "tall dark stranger" on it.
