thanks. i got a speeding ticket like 2 months ago so thats going to set me back from doing work on it... i think im going to get a part time and spend all that part time money on my truck 

[ob92r]

new bumper lights. still debating wether to do a single headlight conversion or stick to the original 4-lamp setup but euro of course...after that, i will throw in a HID kit  - i need to place my chevy emblem too but im waiting to get it painted the same color as the truck.


does anybody know where i can find the instructions on how to install a billet grill for this front end? i heard it is a bit compliated 

[Laderhosen]

Lovely truck... 

Love the colour.

think twice before you cut that grille for the billet inserts

[ob92r]

i think i will go get it custom installed... i saw a truck at a car show and fell in love with it.

VERY COOL...

I like the grille as is. nThe billet grilles are nice, but I dont really like the way the ends come out. Ive never seen one that really looked right, especially on this grille. Your truck is beautiful. Well done!

this is the truck that inspired me to fix mine.

this truck has the single headlight conversion, a billet grill, i think it had 24" wheels and it has a 454!

mine will not be as great as that (or it might  ), but hopefully it can make it to car shows and win me some trophies and some money!

enjoy

that paintwork is nice. what's the fun if u can't get yourself a few speeding tickets in it though?

[KoolerSL2]

if you seriously intend to drive the truck dont do the single conversion.
i helped do it to a friends truck and u could never get the headlights aimed right.
he left it just never drove at night in the truck.
so just some experience from my end on that.

thanks for letting me know! im still debating on the billet grill. the only reason why i want to put it is because i dont like the way you can see the radiator and to be honest, my radiator is not in the best condition and especially to show so i figured the billet will kind of hide it.

oh and my speeding ticket i got it while driving my car 

[ob92r]

got these about two fridays ago, painted them last week and bought the beauty rings on monday. does anybody know where i can find some center caps for cheap? i seen some on ebay but i am going to wait until the car swapmeet comes around to see if i can get them cheaper. i am also looking into buying some white lettered tires (bf goodrich radial r/t, cooper cobras/ goodyear gt2) but i cant debate on what size... the used tires that came with the wheels are 235/75/r15 (well two are) and i like how they look so thats what i might get. i dont plan to keep them on the truck, they are just temporary until i save up for some 24s

Try a junkyard for the caps. I bought my ralleys for about $12 a wheel with the centers and no rings. There was another junkyard that wanted $10 a cap if I bought them seperate.
