Front end upgrade

Hey guys I bought an 91 burb front end the guy gave me the hood fenders grille and a bumper all for only $150.00. So this week I started I used my hood and bumper (they were in better shape) the fenders on the new stuff were in way better shape. It took about 3 afternoons to get it done but here it is let me know what you think. O and i should be taking the truck to paint soon so more pics to come. Im going to repaint the truck white with the 1968 pace car Camaro race stripes. It should be different. Let me know what you think
Thanks
Branden

Re: Front end upgrade

How hard was the headight wiring?

Re: Front end upgrade

I got it from a guy in Reedley.
I used the lights that came on it and wired it in to the wire plug it was real easy to do.
The fenders that were on my truck was crap it looked like the PO had crashed in to a gate or something I put some pics of the old fenders also im going to repaint the whole truck

Re: Front end upgrade

ok looks good you save the old grill because in the future you will wish you did

also in my own oppinion ss strips on a truck sound cool but don't ever look cool now something like a yanko camaro strips or grumpy jenkins strips would be super cool

there are some guy on here that can do a photo shop of your truck with what ever you want on it so you dont have to regret you decision later
