Man the truck is looking awesome! There is one that already has the frame cut down, and short bed installed just a couple blocks away. I've contemplated it, but don't need another project yet. I do love the color on your truck though. Those coy's look good too. Also how was the one piece window install? They look good! Keep the updates coming!

They are about 90% done. The only problem i am having is all the wires going into the drivers door,the glass is rubbing them.It has the window switch for all four window and door locks.I am going to relocate the switch to the center console to eliminate the problem.
After doing them I would say they can be done in a day easy.

On a side note I'm not diggin the power mirrors now.I will live with them for now though.

1976HighSierra · 07-07-2009, 02:08 AM

looking good. I have always wanted to build one myself. Quick question. What is the overall wheelbase?

JohnC · 07-07-2009, 12:40 PM

Yeah especially with the one piece windows they just don't look right. The wing window helps place them, without it they are just sitting there in the middle of the window.

Since you stole them though it won't be hard to change!

joe231 · 07-17-2009, 09:23 PM

man I have missed out on some sweet progress...at least now I am back up to speed

so i guess you changed back to the five lug stuff, huh?

menace121978 · 07-17-2009, 10:00 PM

man what a build. you have some serious skills!! those coys set it off perfect! awesome job...

Thank for the compliments guys

There will be more to come.

*BGRAFX* · 08-04-2009, 12:22 PM

I like the one piece headlights. let me know how difficult that was to do please.

What truck are those side mirrors from? I think they would be a good upgrade to my suburban.

JohnC · 08-04-2009, 02:19 PM

Those are the mirrors on the 89-91 burbans and blazers

72BlckButy · 08-04-2009, 02:23 PM

Man that thing is nice... it's coming along nicely.

*BGRAFX* · 08-04-2009, 02:35 PM

Ok so the mirrors and headlights are from the new body style 88-98 trucks and burbans. thanks guys i will do some research or stop at lmc later today.

JohnC · 08-04-2009, 02:37 PM

The mirrors are only from 89-91. In this time they still used the square body style. The trucks from 88-98 had different mirrors. The 96-98 trucks had similar mirrors, but I'm not sure if they are the same ones.

*BGRAFX* · 10-15-2009, 11:37 PM

I wonder why my 91 didn't come stock with those mirrors and headlights.

joe231 · 10-15-2009, 11:53 PM

What are the one piece lights from? Vans?

suicide 63 · 10-18-2009, 08:09 PM

Sorry guys, I have not been neglecting to update.
My house caught fire on friday and is a complete loss.This is the first time i have made it to a computer to log on.The truck may be up for sale here soon.

Conundrum · 10-18-2009, 08:22 PM

That sucks, sorry to hear it.

joe231 · 10-18-2009, 08:43 PM

Damn

sorry for the loss

ratty 46 · 10-18-2009, 10:44 PM

I read this threw up till the house fire ...... Christ ..... That SUX. I'm sure nothing I can say will help but if you handle that set backs as you have the truck build you will survive. I hope no one was injured.

Best of luck.
