Update on "Brown"

Well after I installed my new bumper, I decided to take Brown out and get some pics, so after work (and during lunch) I snapped various shots...some of the best ones were at the local boat ramp during sunset. OH...and before I forget the last pictuers are of my new intake that I put on Labor day weekend (Edelbrock Performer EPS with the Endurashine coating)

ENJOY!





















The three above are a few of my favs









Even though a few are too dark, I like them just because of the highlights



Another Fav ^









^ Another one I like just because of the highlights and background


Now below are some pics of the new intake







If you're wondering what it use to look like, it looked like this

Cliffsta, you could get chrome wheel well trim from the factory. If you want some for yours, I see them on Ebay all the time.

Maybe I should apply for UPS...hahahaha...who wouldn't want to see a truck like that delivering their parcels?

-cornfed63-
Not sure on the drop as it was dropped way back when disco was ending so I don't have many specifics. So far I've figured from different measurements that it's roughly a 5 or 6" in front and 6/7" in the rear, hard to tell until I decide to look up the original stock height.

-cliffsta-
BB73 is correct, the wheel lip opening moldings came from the factory and for some reason the stepside ones are kind of hard to find. SWB moldings don't fit (obviously) and I rarely see a stepside with the moldings on it, but just like BB73 said you can find them on ebay from time to time.

Everyone else thanks for the compliments, and so far I am still trying to figure out the next mod.....it most likely will be the bed.

That's the color mine was as well. It's still the color but faded worn etc. I want to repaint it back to the same color. I love seeing that color again being brand new looking.

Well, I have won 3 awards with the brown step....best 73-04 truck, untouchable award(basically best detailed) and a sponsor award from baskin robins at our town's largest car show. My white one has won one award at the high school show and that was best wheel/tire combo, lastly my red one I won two awards with and I believe those were both best detailed awards...one a third place and the other ???
