Thanks bro! And yep you are correct... Word has it soon as the 79's camecout my grandpa noticed the change in the front end and wanted his to look like a new one! Lol! So he bought all new pieces from the dealer and she's been that way ever since. Figured I'd keep it going... Plus I do like the look better myself

Got it! That truck is truly an inspiration to all the DIY'ers out there who think they cant resto a truck in a 2 car garage. All it takes is patience and some basic tools. And a great eye for what the finished project will look like. You did an amazing job and should be very proud of the job you've done!
SO, whats next?

84SierraClassic · 11-10-2011, 09:10 PM

Truly amazing work. Inspiration for all, and a project we can all aspire to. Normally I like my trucks lifted high but the work you've put into this has been awe-inspiring.

Low84 · 11-11-2011, 12:56 AM

Simply awesome! VERY well built truck!!
