It is funny to me that I now add things to my truck that I used to take off and toss in the scrap metal pile because I thought they were ugly, just like the rear step bumper

I have to paint them flat white and then let them rust a bit so they will match my front bumper

**nlped** · 06-15-2017, 09:53 PM

When do I need to come get that ugly rusty white'ish back bumper?

Maybe soon, I pulled it off the other truck the other day, still up in the air what I want to do

Just checking. I bought a 'patina' one for the front.

You are first on the call list if I decide to sell

The struggle is real though

I laid eyes on that thing today. First thing I said to Larry was " Man that's a nice bumper " He said someone is already after him about it. I just seen this post. Lmbo. I wish you the best of luck on that thing. It looks AWESOME. I would seal it to stop any further rust and bolt that baby on the way it is! He had that jewel hidden from me. But he has hooked me up many times already so I'm not hating.

Had a blast today witnessing grandpas handy work. But I do think they should have gotten him some duck tape and some zip ties instead of a grinder and a Jr. mechanic starter kit for Christmas. He did some crazy handy work. Wish they would not have hide the bolt for the motor and transmission from him. That was not a good joke to play on him. Lol

Yet another crazy time hanging with Larry. And we still have all of the body parts we walked in with. Ready for the next one!

Exactly my intentions. I bought a 'patina' front bumper from Uncle, so I should be golden.

**nlped** · 06-15-2017, 10:46 PM

Yes it is! Thanks Larry.

flashed · 06-18-2017, 04:23 PM

**GR8-68** · 06-18-2017, 07:16 PM

cknfrmr · 06-18-2017, 08:25 PM

what happened to the other gauge cluster? You running this one now? I'm having trouble keeping things straight. Lol. Rumble rumble. Is the sound Grimace made or the fry guys.

**GR8-68** · 06-24-2017, 04:17 PM

Well good day at the truck shop, about got the motor to the point of bolting the transmission back to it and sitting it down into the frame to stay

**GR8-68** · 06-18-2017, 08:31 PM

Nice! I see a gear drive, should be able to hear that thing coming. What are your plans for exhaust? I am in desperate need of new exhaust on mine and I'm trying to see what others are doing first.

**GR8-68** · 06-18-2017, 08:35 PM

2 1/2" through shorty mufflers ending before the rear axle with turndowns. This all starts with my Doug Thorley headers

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2017, 04:36 PM

Well transmission is all prepped and ready to bolt to the motor and get it cradled back into the frame for hopefully the final time.

cknfrmr · 07-09-2017, 04:45 PM

awesome. that is a sick pic of the light hitting ur truck. would be neat to see what it looks like in black and white. its really coming together dude.

cknfrmr · 07-09-2017, 04:53 PM

I was right.

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2017, 06:51 PM

Trying to regain some ground I lost !!

I thought about making it black and white but liked the color, the sky lights add an extra feature and good lighting
