Wicked looking bumpers.  I like the look but remind me to stay about 1/2 mile away from you on the interstate, they look super dangerous.

well ive been working away on the truck the last few days.....i picked up some 2005 chev crew cab seats that ive been orking on mounting i have half the rear seat mounted so far the fronts are going to be a little harder going to have to notch down the floors to get the seats to sit lower... once its all said and down ive priced out some katzkin seat covers. Just trying to get odds and ends finised up few small pieces on the bumpers. need to get the transfercase mounted that i purchased from moonshine maufia motorsports thanks to a lead on this site...

Just an update ive been working on a few things. i tend to jump around around a little bit...so ive started mounting my seats what i did with the rear was ended up takeing appart the rear seats out of the 05 chevy and cut the brackets off that frame and installed the brackets on the original 80 truck seat frame...the rear seats still even tilt forward...the front seats well they sat to high in the truck i i went ahead and cut the floor hump under the seat out and had a friend of mine who works are a steel building shop cut out a pan at his shop whick we covered the hole in the floor with then added a hat channel to connect the cab supports back together..ive also been playing around with the transfercase i got started mounting it and realized i needed to modify the tranny cross memeber i had already built ...

That front bumper you made looks very nice and fits the truck much better than those custom made bumpers.
