Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Thanks and yea we have a couple different ideas we are throwing around. Im leaning toward a prerunner style bumper but we may go with a closer to stock bumper

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Very nice! I'd say to a closer to stock style bumper modified a little bit. Those pre runner bumpers can make a truck look pretty ugly IMO. Great work!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Thanks for the feedback guys! Unfortunately my comp is messed up so I can't get pics up just yet. But to answer your question Joe, we used a series of hole saws.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Those holes look really clean for hole saws, I'm guessing you used a drill press huh? Looks very cool!!
Oh and I'm glad you found the GMC stuff you were looking for I would love some dimple dies, but those things are super spendy.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Not if you know where to look. There is a seller on ebay that sells 7pc sets for reasonable. They're only 1018 steel but I've heard good reports on these. They have smaller sets also. Wish I had known about these guys before I bought mine.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Yep, we got ours from Barbed Wire Off Road. Talk to Leah...great to work with. She talked us into the 4140 7 pc. drilled version, which works really well for what you can't get to the press.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
We have been putting a quite bit of thought into how we wanted to go with the front bumper. We had been throwing the ideas of a pre-runner style bumper and a stock bumper around and we finally decided that since we already had a stock bumper on the GMC we would pull it off and play with ways we could make it work.
It was pretty bent so we decided to play around with it in the press to see how straight we could get it. We also welded up the stock mounting holes to get a cleaner look After we got her pretty straight we played around and layed out a few holes We used a holesaw to cut the holes out then used the press and a set of dimple dies to flare the holes
