The rally's look good!
Now you just need a "sport" bumper for the back.
And maybe a slight altitude adjustment?

I actually purchased an OEM smooth bumper from Classic Parts (.com) via ebay. Brand new for about $150 (shipping included). Perfect chrome and very heavy, not like some of the aftermarket bumpers. They still had a several more available for sale on ebay. I called a couple of GM dealers in Washington and Oregon and they said if they can get it, it would cost $242 plus shipping and applicable state tax.

The "industrial" bumper gives me a lot of attitude for now. Just don't follow me too close, else you'll lose. Maybe after a new paint job I'll install the new bumper and interior.

I put 31 10.50 R15 Toyo's with 15"X8" black steel rims on my stock hight 79 Sierra Grande. I love the way it looks. I had the stock 15"X6" rims with those tires and it looked really bad, too tall and skinny.
