I'm bord so I'll tell a little more about my truck...
The box,cab,doors,hood,fenders are from a 78 2wd and the radiator support and headlight bezels is a 80 (still need a grill)....I got a cab vizor from a 74 i want to put on. I also need to do some fixing to the box and cab.I,m also wanting to put a chrome roll bar on with 6 100 watt lights,BUT i cant find a chrome roll bar anywhere. where do you buy them,Also summitracing was nice to sell me the 3 inch body lift i did it with the help of 2 Friends (the cab me and my other friend did that,I swear that is the heaviest thing i ever lifted)yap,turned out good,even got me some mud flaps.LOL I'm hoping by this weekend i can get the mud flaps on and small fuel tank under the hood so i can move it. I took the gas tanks out so i can put a 20 gal square tank under the box and gravity feed my Electric fuel pump for my new motor I'm still building...need parts hoping in 2 weeks ill have them all :) ...going with a comp cams extreme 4x4 262H something to get my tires moving

Those might be for large mud flaps.
Real trucks are built, not bought Build thread

Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the earth or break this bolt...Whatever, just hold my beer!

Whatever they are for, GM didn't put them there.  Mud flaps sound feasible.

      Would it be possible to take a pic of yours and post it ?

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Sorry for the long wait on the reply....I'v been busy doing a V8 swap on my 84 S-10...My body lift was easy,only thing needed to be done was make the shifter linkage longer on a automatic,and that should come in the kit...it was really easy.I had help with 2 guys on the box and did the rest myself with a jack and wood...:)
