i love that front bumper!! do you remember where you got it?

I built the front bumper in 95 when a heffer put her foot through the grille.Its all there, heavy wall square tubing, channel iron,1/2 inch uprisers w/ 1/8 inch strap. Not going anywhere

Your baby looks really nice, I like that classic 2 tone color looks better!

Glad you did take real good care of her.

That's a nice truck, Chop. Are you staying with the GMC grill on it?

I thought about it, but she cant decide between the Phantom grille or the gmc grille, or Chevy grille for th 85s or 86s. If we go with the GMC grille, we will probably order one w/o the logo.

85Mudmonster, the original colors are buckskin tan, andyellow. I cant remember exactly what the yellow was called, but I have the name and the paint codes in the glovebox. The biggest challenge will be removing the front bumper in order to paint it. The rear bumper was welded on in 82, so it stays. The front is heavy, I used to stretch barbed wire off of it 1/4 mile at a time, and the rear bumper and rails were used to stretch fence as well. I have pulled the truck backwards while stretching fence just off of the bed rails.

Hahah... used it to stretch barbwire fence, huh?  That qualifies as a ranch truck, I do believe! 
My old beater was used on my father's ranch, until he decided to retire.

Here's a couple more. Not too good because of a smudge on the lens. Will take better ones tomorrow, to dark right now> I forgot how much fun this thing is to drive. The trailer will be painted to match since this will be what she does mainly from now on.
