thanks for the compliments guys. alot of blood sweat and tears did go into this truck and I hope to one day get it out of primer. But then again i have kinda gotten used to it I may never paint it who knows.

I got a show here in town this saturday so if it don't rain (no windsheild wipers) I'll put some miles on her this weekend.

You know I must say some thing about the rough primer look gives it a hell of a all of attitude.
I like it kinda road warriorish

 

[flatoutford1976]

thanks tex for some reason that doesn't suprise me though....

Did he do a front clip swap? It bothers me that all the trim stops at the front of the doors and the front clip is bare. Choose one or the other, but not both

i agree with chris. the truck would look killer if it had the rest of the chrome trim on it

 

[miottimouse]

you must get great gas milage down there thinner air? lol welcome and looks great

 

[flatoutford1976]

it looked like the truck was wrecked and he put a new frontend on it. he said the truck was a 76 but obviously the grille was a 78.

Jeez! What exactly is contacting the pavement to make sparks fly? I hope it's a skid plate...

1/4 " steel plates

I'd say maybe it needs to go an inch higher in the rear.
