bigarmzz · 02-14-2010, 01:21 PM

jitteryguy · 02-14-2010, 01:22 PM

thats quite a difference ! looks good

SBTork · 02-14-2010, 01:59 PM

Great progress, but c'mon....out with it, what have you done?

Rollinsqrbdy · 02-14-2010, 03:57 PM

20x10 Coys out back with a 295-40-20 and 20x8.5 up front with a 255-40-20. Flip kit out back and 3''drop spindle up front with some coil work. 2 and a half cowl induction hood, 3d taillights, edelbrock intake and carb, and started to shave a few things. Thats it for now until i get the roll pan and billet grill. Then paint

pcmcobra · 02-14-2010, 04:11 PM

dig it man. Cowl hoods look great on square bodies.

JohnC · 02-14-2010, 05:27 PM

Looks great man! Nice work!

**old Rusty C10** · 02-14-2010, 05:30 PM

i love those cowl hoods i should get one for mine

Driveway Dreams · 02-14-2010, 05:33 PM

Again, it's looking good! Where did you get the hood from?

3r!c84 · 02-14-2010, 06:39 PM

you could clean up and paint the grille and headlight buckets?

f.monroe · 02-14-2010, 08:02 PM

The 83-84 grille is the best looking grille from 81-87 in my opinion. There was a post on here probably over a year ago that a guy did a billet grille and kept the center trim from the stock grille. It was the best looking billet grille insert I have seen .

1984 swb chevy · 02-14-2010, 11:55 PM

Looking good.

spinem · 02-15-2010, 12:13 AM

taco truck!

Driveway Dreams · 02-15-2010, 12:49 AM

You can probably cut out the 2 or 3 bars where the stock center bar goes and then re mount it. I am just guessing at this without seeing it. But that might help you get headed the right direction. It would look nice on your truck.

*BGRAFX* · 02-15-2010, 01:00 AM

Looks really good!
