HA HA! No rust holes but the dumb thing is bent on both sides

I posted the review on that bumper for anyone interested in installing one.

Yep, I've been steadily working on it for the past few months now compared to it sitting for almost a year after being painted. All I really have left is to lower the front 4", wheels/tires, finish widening rear fenders, spray-in liner, exhuast (I have the mufflers and cut-outs already), install billet vacuum canister, billet overflow tank, I'm in the process of doing a grille swap from a phantom billet grille, install the GM "sport" mirrors (yea I know I shaved the factory mirrors), finish wiring up all my Auto Meter Pro-Comp gauges and install my reupholstered 91 Suburban buckets. Should be good to roll by then.

Lots of nice trucks!

redrat · 07-09-2007, 02:08 AM

Here's a few pictures of my project. Its an 84 - 468 / 350. 12 bolt with 373. I want to bag it, but Im running low on the $$$ for now

. When its all put back together the front end should sit about 1 inch lower than the back (I HOPE)

. When I get more time Ill post some pictures of the rest of the build. Its down to just the frame right now. I love every thing about these trucks!!!

Is the tailgate you have molded in, or is it functional? I've kinda been looking for a new tailgate... I'm bored with the perfectly flat shaved one that I have. Did you just buy the the skin, or have it custom made?

Slammed '87 · 07-10-2007, 11:08 PM

Heres a few from a car show in Lethbridge Ab. Can. Pics are not the best quality, but you get the idea. Ofcourse i had to add a pic of my two trucks

Its functional. It was already on the truck when I bought it. But I have seen them in the Classic Industries catilog on page 400. This is a little better picture of the rear.
