I can't stand those visors!!! Who invented those and the back cab things?? lol
-
i know man...i can't stand trucks that look like they raided the Lund catalog. the guy who bought my '78 K20 that was lifted (the red one with flames) put a freakin moon visor on it. i haven't wanted to cry so bad in quite some time.
-
I'am sorry I think the lund version flows good with the body lines but you can keep the racer back things.
-
well, to each their own. i'm not gonna call someone's rig a POS because they have a moon visor, it's just not my taste...

Same here, I just think they take away from the truck's curves...It's like covering up a hot babe in a burqa :D
Legend what are your plans for your truck and your brothers?
-
I like the moon visors on some 1973-1987 trucks it looks good on that one to me.
-
he said he's gonna take the visor off. he put rally's on it since then and is planning on buying some 36 in super swampers. i'm gonna keep mine mostly original...except im probably putting a roll pan in place of the bumper i took off. i need a few things if you happen to have them. 78 headlight rings, center caps for my rallys, bed marker lights with the stainless trim(or the front ones and i can take the trim off)the stainless light trim that go under the headlights, chrome front bumper and sporty mirrors( like on my brothers)

I have a nice chrome front bumper, it has a few light scratches here and there but I'll take $50 bucks for it.

Sweet. There aint nothing like a new project! Good luck with it.
By the way that's what makes this country great. You can do what you want with your ride!!!!!

i did quite a bit of work to my truck last year. I talked the guy down to $550 and drove it home(with a little bit of a fuel filter problem) I put a new radiator support in it, did some body work, painted the frame from the cab back, and quite a bit of work on the bed(think i'm gonna go with composite for the floor). I have a bunch of parts to put on when the weather cooperates a little more. I have new doors to put on, new inner fenders, tinted windshield, and tinted rear slider. I want to keep it close to the original green and i think im going to go with white bumper and white mirrors. Any suggestions are welcome.
It was pretty sunny today. Anyone ever fix rot like in the 5th pic?

Looking good - how soon till paint?
-
who knows...i still have a ton of work to do to it. I'm basically trying to get it one color for now.
-
Cool! Today is beautiful outside in lovely Connetisuck!
-
its the grey ghost!!! lol half the pats on this truck were mine
-
My truck is coming along...slowly but surely. I put the new inner fenders on a couple of weeks ago. I changed the tires yesterday and put a little paint on the rims. I do need some new center caps though. I was going to try and save the passengers door but it's pretty weak and not really repairable. I think it would be easier to find a good one. I have a chrome rear bumper to put on...I still need a front one. Still plenty of body work to do so i'll update with some more pics and let me know what all of your opinions are.

LEGEND_81 ( LMAO) I love the way you are parked man........... on the middle of the 2 parking spaces and if it was-int enough
double parked and in front of the handicap parking sign.!
-
Yeah i do that because of those annoying dents from people opening they're doors.

Most recent pics...with two little boys its hard to get work done but its coming along...with no rushing. these are the most recent pics. Still some body work to do. What color do u guys think i should go. It was originally that teal green color which i think would be nice but not sure. I like the stance...any of the photoshop pros want to show how it will look a little lower. I love the way it looks but i need to get some real paint on it. I love the rallys...i'm not ditching those. I might go wider on the rear, just need a set of center caps which i should find at a swap meet next month, i'm sure vile will be there.
