     That truck looks amazing, I hope it is as fun to drive as it looks, keep up the great work.

Nope motor is all stock ; )
so Mike n I were up to 3am bolting down the box, headache rack, stacks, and toolbox. Had to drill new holes for the box and add spacers until the body lines were perfectly square and of course it fought us every step of the way. Nothing has been easy on this truck..
heres a few pics:



Here's a pic of Mike holding the fender flare in place. These won't get installed until the front fenders are on

I am curious about the flares too, I have seen them for our trucks, just never with the "bolt pockets." I Like :)

They're just bushwacker flares, but i shortened them so i didn't have to cut out the fender well.

Gotta throw in a pic of the new 73-87chevytrucks calendar!


So I need some opinions from you guys, can't decide what to do with the front grille...
Do I keep it white with a black emblem or polsihed aluminum? Or a black grille with black, polished, or white emblem? oooor paint the upper and lower half of the white grille black  :-\

     I say keep it white, I do not like the black on there at all.

You could do an all chrome grille and headlight bezels and bow tie or just a chrome grille and bow tie to compliment those chrome stacks and headache rack in the bed.

Yea the chrome would like really good, i'm jus trying to be different since everyone has chrome grilles, i'm gonna try it though n see how it looks!
I was thinking of the black grille because of this truck on youtube that i'm obsessed with. I just love how it's all whited out then that black grille really jumps out like those tires lol This truck has been the inspiration of my white obsession:

Yea makes sense. I think chrome is good when used in moderation. Tons of chrome is tacky but just pipes, rack and grille would look clean. The black grille with chrome emblem does look pretty good, just a chrome middle piece with bow tie.

White grill with either black or polished emblem to match the rest. Looks bad ass either way.
