Nice job, looks sweet. I did an 85 about 15 years ago. Also filled the plate and frenched it into the rear bumper. We ( the owner, & I ) used a fuel filler / plate holder from an early Impala to hide the Reese hitch behind the plate. Also dechromed it, and painted the bumpers, bed lip trim, grill etc. I will have to dig up some pics.
Again very nice job.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

I just spent the last 3 weeks fixing up this baby again... Did some engine mods, dual exhaust, custom crossmember, audio, rebuilt the sttering column, floor shifter, put a gas tank in it and other odds and ends. My Aunt and Uncle came and picked it up tonight. It feels good to see their faces light up. Another gift ;)

It's basically like sticking a straw in a jar. Not much to it. Found a few other pix
