100% Better Looks Clean

Doesn't even look like the same truck! "Good mishap"

Ditto... I am digging the shiny! Amazing the difference a little chrome makes!

Another fan of the 'new look'! Grill, surround, bumper, wheels & caps, tires.... everything about it looks better! Those mudflaps were probably effective, but they were not a thing of beauty....

And I agree with Ray's suggestion of argent on the arms & rear bumper -- Nice & clean, should help tie it all together.

WOW! What a change!

The chrome looks great and i just love the wheels! I would put a 2-4 inch lift on that truck and it would look bas a$$! Can you hit my truck with the tractor???

If I was me I`d do what you did.Cuzzit looks darn good!

I ran argent paint on a set of steelies w/caps and that looked great,too.

It funny you mentioned that. I recently bought a NOS assembly for each side, another down the road fix. Until I looked at the posted pictures from this weekend I had totally forgotten they were mismatched.

As far as lifting the truck, right now its totally stock and the rear is the same height as my black K10 was (now oldirons truck), but the front is lower so eventually I would like to bump it up 2 to 3 inches in front. I like the nose up just a tad.

Thanks for all the nice comments on the new look. Just like a lot of you guys, its a work in progress.

Hey! Who you callin' a work in progress??

Ah, nevermind.... you are very correct.
