C&C Chevy · 07-07-2003, 05:10 PM

here it is.

C&C Chevy · 07-07-2003, 05:12 PM

That is what I want my color scheme to look like. Except with crimson over cream colors.

**swervin ervin** · 07-07-2003, 05:13 PM

Looks good, but I'm not a big fan of Burb front ends on our trucks.

boataddict26 · 07-07-2003, 05:18 PM

That truck is SWEET!!

oklahomachevy · 07-07-2003, 05:25 PM

The seperated grill inserts and the suburban lights give a fresh style compared to the regular front end of this model truck stock, but if someones seen something better...post it cause I want to see. thanks

Low87on20s · 07-07-2003, 05:27 PM

Looks good.

Is it me or do the lights in that front-end look photo-shopped?

Russell · 07-07-2003, 09:16 PM

The whole front end looks photoshopped...

I couldn't agree with you more!

boataddict26 · 07-07-2003, 10:28 PM

I think the wheels look photo-shopped.

Actually, much of it is Photo-shopped. It is the work of yours truely. It is pretty much EXACTLY what mine will look like. (Someday

) This is what I started with.

TIMSPEED · 07-08-2003, 12:53 AM

Hey Ric,
How did you lower it, and how low is it? Also, are those 17's? Looks NICE!

I used to be the same way but they're growing on me.. Im actually thinking of running a '91 front clip off a burb that Im gonna pick up soon.. I was gonna sell it but I might just run it. It would save me a lot of time and money plus give my truck a little different of a look, plus then I could go with a later model cab (I need a new cab still).... It would sort of be killing two birds with one stone..

LOHRTBT · 07-08-2003, 10:52 AM

LOL...That was funny. I remember the thread where Ric did that photoshop hehe.
I like the wheels!!

boataddict26 · 07-08-2003, 11:23 AM

I know those wheels didnt look right!! But they do look SWEET!!

gchemist · 07-08-2003, 07:32 PM

I'm undecided too.

**N2TRUX** · 07-08-2003, 11:03 PM

The front end looks cool. Those wheels are kind lame though. I mean who in their right mind would run wheels that would make them look
