Re: my 84 build

thanks I had to jump on them!! I been looking for a longtime for some and these had came up...gotta have them chromed though it will be sometime before they are on the truck, also got one of the fender emblems on...it looks out of place to me cause im not use to seeing them on my truck.

Re: my 84 build

They will take some getting use to because you haven't had them on. I personally like the stock body look with all them trim and emblems. When I start to work on mine I plan to have it painted and put all original trim back on (well new that looks original), lower it about 5 inches and maybe add some 20" wheels or some new Rallys.

Re: my 84 build

Man sorry to hear that. Glad that the gf and you are both okay though. So what are your plans now. I would imagine you are probably looking for a new frame to swap over. Keep us posted on what is going on. I had been wondering why I hadn't seen you posting for some time now.

Cool. Mine has been painted and everything, so if that one falls through, let me know. It will be pretty cheap.

Re: my 84 build

how did you tape off the silver and keep the lines so straight? I have the same paint job on the truck that im restoring. How much black paint did you leave in the front of the fender? thanks
