Finally Done

I am finally finished to a point of driving my truck. I have put about 50 miles on it, thanks to all who helped me.

Body side trim is aftermarket junk, it totally stinks.

Re: Finally Done

No, it isnt from them, hopefully yours wont be made out of aluminum foil like mine. I would love to have some better ones, let me know if yours are any good.

thanks

Re: Finally Done

Thanks, I will try to post some more pictures soon and let you know what parts that I used that were great and what parts we not great. The last time I did one of these trucks I used parts from my local Gm dealer, now getting the good stuff isn't that easy.

Re: Finally Done

Wow! That thing is amazing.
I know the trim is a pain, but it totally makes the vintage look happen....in my opinion. Nice choice on wheel/tire combo, and grill too.

Re: Finally Done

Don't get me wrong i love lowered trucks, but its nice to see a truck that isnt lowered every once in awhile. Yours has a great stance, it looks BRAND NEW, i hope mine will look that good when i get done with mine. One question, is that a aftermarket bumper, and if so how is the quality?

Re: Finally Done

x ReAcT x, if you are refering to the front bumper, it is aftermarket and the quality is great. The rear on the other hand is good on the outside, but had a bunch of un-painted welds on the backside (where the chrome step meets the bracing). They both came from LMC
