Good buy. I noticed the mirrors as soon as the pic popped up though. I believe they were stock on the 88 and up.

dinnut · 05-15-2003, 10:02 PM

haha they dont even fit flush against the body.

dinnut · 05-15-2003, 10:04 PM

see. i just washed the truck! but this shows the suckiness of the mirrors. ill sell them. anybody want some ugly mirrors?

dinnut · 05-15-2003, 10:06 PM

heres the rust in the bed. hole we believe was for a fifth wheel. big nasty hole. the floor isnt flat. some areas have sunk, some areas have rust.

dinnut · 05-15-2003, 10:07 PM

dinnut · 05-16-2003, 05:18 PM

good luck selling those mirrors, i see those are dented and you can grab a mint set outta a junkyard for next to nothin. i'd just make room for more parts if i were you (throw em out).

I don't know, but I'm wondering the same thing, I want to get a 69-70 front bumper, and smooth off the bolts, then hide my turn signals behind the grille. Anybody have any ideas for us?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-26-2003, 10:35 AM

I used trailer led light's from smuck's at about 9 dollar's a pop I drilled 2 hole's for each light and screwed em to the core support..

dinnut · 10-26-2003, 08:53 PM

thats a good idea. i never thought that you could use other lights other than originals. stupid me.
