What Else Did U Do When U Had The Bed Off Besides Paint?and What Color Will The Paint Be?

[gooberchevy]

I'd get some buckets out of a Denali, Escalade, or really anything with buckets that are leather.

I think you should drop it, at least a 2/4 maybe 4/6 depending on what size those wheels are and how bad your roads are locally.

Darker tint.

Upgrade grille, color matched. Some new lights all the way around with the rears smoked or candied.

Also will not want to over look performance upgrades. A cold air intake, exhaust, ect..Make sure everything is in good mechanical order before dumping all the money to make it look good.

Great start for sure...good luck. DO what you want to do. We can all tell you what we think looks good, but do things for what you like.

I degreased everything and sprayed the frame and some extras with that underbody rubber coat stuff... paint is just gonna be matte blk or satin blk it.. Im just gonna paint it myself..

Motor runs good.. ill dip into the motor a lil later.. i plan on doing the tpi swap.. still looking into it tho.. did a tune up already..

Ya i plan on changing all the lights.. planned on smoken the tails and maybe the parking lights.. grilles a must..dont really like gmc front ends tho..

[MkRoN209]

I got a chance to work a little on her today.. had some 1996 impala ss seats around so i decided to put them in..

tell me what you think...

[chevysnbuicks]

Looks pretty good. I'm not a big fan of those rims... BUT, like goober said, it's your truck and your money, do what you want.

I'm diggin the seats.

8 cly or 6?

[MkRoN209]

its a 5.7 v8... ya rims came with the car.. i got some ss impala stocks on it right now.. kinda like them.. would look good powder coated black...

like the rockstars too..

Ah good. The 4.3 is good, but it just doesn't have the umph the 5.7 has.

Yeah, I like the impala SS rims, those are pretty sweet.

Rockstars are alright, but you really have to know what you are doing to pull off the look...

You going to lower?

we'll be watching, keep us updated. we love pics. a lot. like coke:junkies::pics:us

[MkRoN209]

I think the rockstars would look bad with the paint im gonna do...jus dont wanna pay the rockstars price.. lol..

im gonna try to lower it another couple inchs front and back..

Yeah, they are pretty expensive. I was thinking of designing my 77 to work with rockstars, but they are a little too hard to pull off on a square body.

OBS trucks look killer with a 4/6 drop. Since you're changing to the bowtie grill, are you going to change to the 95-99 style, or stick to the 88-94?

If you change to the newer one, be sure and take plenty of pics, I'm thinking of doing that myself... lol.

[MkRoN209]

idk what front end i want yet.. just not a fan of mine..

[gmctrucks]

Looking better piant flat black for now till you get the money for your paint also if you remove the bed again replace fuel pump with a Delco there always' going out buying other than Delco your going to replace soon.

[MkRoN209]

been a while since i posted.. ive been workin a lot. tryin to do a lil here and there.. but here are a couple piks.. bout $17,000 in toys in my $3000 truck.. haha..

[GreaseDog]

so you swapped reasonbly good cloth seats for ripped up leather seats? good swap

i do like the Impala wheels though, fit the truck very well.

[InestChevys2]

dude give me your bike, i been wanting one for a while now

[Aron]

17k for the toys, you got ripped off.

[rippedwarrior69]

Nice truck man. I like the rims that came on it when you got the truck better then those impala ss rims. Thats jsut my taste though.

[KuzIKan]

Like the seats man, looks awesome. The Impala wheels are a classic look for the truck.

Ever think he bought the stuff and added stuff to it? Your comment has nothing to do with the subject so why add your two cents when it is not needed?

[KADILLACKID]
