No jon...you buttwrinkle! haha
A motor is somethint totally different. Its not something that changes the style or lines of a truck. Most of us like these trucks for the classic bodyline. If you go and put a round front on them , it makes them look out of place ..to me. The burban front grill is something that is part of the same body style for our trucks from the factory. The 88+ front end from the trucks is not.

As for the girlfriend...you will have to ask Greg to unlock her from his garage if you wanna take a run at her!! lol

I still say why do all that work and have a hood that looks like the result of a car wreck.

I totally agree with Dave and the others who don't care for this mod. It's blending two totally different body styles together. The 73-87 trucks are square like bricks, and the 88+ are smooth and rounded. I like them both, but not together on the same truck. I love the square, boxy style of trucks the best, though.

The 88+ stepsides don't look good on our trucks either. However, they look really sweet on the '67-72 trucks, since those body styles are smooth and rounded as well.

This is all just MHO. By all means, do what YOU like! Who cares what everyone else thinks! I mean, I love 6.2L diesels for crying out loud!

I just dont understand it. These are some of the best body style trucks of all time. Why would you want to change anything bodywise. I can see smaller mods like shaving and stuff like that, but no major body part replacements. I still dont understand why people change the tail lights

. Anyway I vote for no on the mod, they just dont look as good.
Ohh yeah, Im not trying to start a war, but I think the 80's look better then the 70's

are you on crack!

80's look waaay too boxy...especially with the egg-crate grills and sguare front ends. Not only that, but they also came with 305's for the most part...most 70's at least has 350's!

Ya you got to be on something the 70's model is way better than the 80's also we have 350's

LOL The 70's front end is perfect i think they got confused in the 80's.LOL Ah this is tomuch fun.

I think the original stance of the 80's trucks are cool. Other than that...I'll bet my truck could beat up your truck!
