Copperhead....front bumper extended - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was watching Stacy David a weekend ago and saw him modify the front bumper on Copperhead. Anybody else done anything like that? At least he's into the aesthetics of the body style. I don't have pix, but I'm sure someone will pull one out of the back and post it.

yeah i remember that when it first aired like a year ago. I loved the idea of making the bumper tuck in closer to the body than have it stick out like the factory did. I wouldnt mind doing that if i had the tools and a extra bumper.

I cut a 3/4" section out of my front frame horns to suck the bumper in closer. It worked out great. I'm not sure if I have any pics,I'll check and post them if I do.

Frame horns? I'm guessing you mean what extends past the horns, right?
