Re: body kit
Truck of one of those show on spike tv or Speed did a conversion on a Tahoe. Made it look like an old burb or carry all. Kinda cool I guess. But still not the same thing as the old ones. Look it up. I think you can buy the episode in which they did it.

Re: body kit
Good source for fiberglass front clips...I wonder if they will work on a 4-5-6 Chevy truck or are they specific to the year, make and models listed?

Re: body kit
sorry about the link... i didnt check it i just copied and pasted it and it must have been wrong on the page i found it.
i dont think to would work as a replacement front clip... if you look towards the back of the hood the sharp body lines flatten out and become rounded. personally i think the thing is hideous! i just thought it was interesting... i would rather drive an original 60's truck.

Re: body kit
You learn something new everyday, hopefully I will not remember this lesson. To each his own, but no way could i do it. To bad it does not fit the real deal... Chris..
