Re: 83 shop truck
the front end had really bad sunburn on the hood and fenders so had one of my friends who paints go over and cover it up with some epoxy primmer. lowered it 6/7 and 20/22 combo and drove it like this for a year.

Re: 83 shop truck
looks good, I like the way you did the hitch better than way I did mine. I may redo mine when I do my notch .

Re: 83 shop truck
 awesome!!! i like the notch on the fenders.... cant wait to see LS swap. your going to be amazed at the cooling abilities of that entropy radiator and fans. mine will get up to 210 idling for 20+ minutes and the fans kick on for about 20 seconds and shut off. almost don't even need a fan!

Re: 83 shop truck
I must say this is one good looking truck! Must people cant pull off the flat black, but with the scallops and the logo on the door make it look quite right!
