Thanks! I am totally happy and completely pleased with how it came out. Tonight I'm going to finish the bow tie, and paint the drive shaft glossy black.

Thanks again, and yep that is a whole lot of pictures. I tried to make them small enough in the thumbnail so it's easily viewable, and you can click to view them larger.

The tail lights are 2003 NNBS style tailights that came directly from GM as a replacement part. I will get the part number for you if you want.

Thanks,
Travis

[$gmoney$]

haha, yeah the problem with that...

It's one of those that takes a key to lock in and lock out the metal bar pin... and for some reason it's stuck, wont turn... so I'm going to have to do something to get it off.

But, asuming you were being funny with that... haha. If you were being serious... no way it will work.

[Bama2door]

OMFG...that thing is bad-fu**in a$$. Perfect lift, perfect wheels, perfect tires. You did an awesome job. It literally is a whole other truck. Congrats!!!

[silverado_nolan]

[GREY-GHOST]

if you dont need the lock anymore take a 3ld hammer to the lock end and it will pop right off.

[CheapChevy]

[2WDmadness]
