Finally installed my cab trim and tailgate band

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Very Nice!!! I think all the trim makes the truck POP!!
Where did you get your trim?
I seen The Truck & Car Shop has the 81-87 cab trim.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thanks! That’s where I bought the cab trim. The tailgate band is NOS.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Looks like a totally different truck with the trim on, :metal:!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thanks

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Your truck started off like the 78 I just plcked up in ruidoso 😎

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Funny, my truck came from Los Lunas

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Go figure I couldn't find a decent one locally or one that wasn't overpriced, by the way beautiful truck gives me some inspiration on the direction I will go.:metal:

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

This past week has been very productive as c10sinthepark is right around the corner. I changed out the water pump that has been leaking for quite some time. Installed the new to me OEM hood with WamRods. Swapped out my generic LMC grille for a GM restoration parts 73-74 grille. Last I got a little nip & tuck on both bumpers. I’m very pleased with the results. Couldn’t have done it without all the help from my friends.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Everything looks nice, especially the bumpers. And the Grille looks good too, I like seeing the emblem on there. :metal:
The bumpers is always something I notice Chip Foose doing on that Overhaulin' Show. It's amazing how little things like that can make the vehicle look so much better.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

I just noticed the wamrods, I looked thru the build but didn,t see any info or did I miss a page. I didn,t know they had them for 73-80

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Any advice on how you this? I just got my bumpers back from chrome and would like to do the same on my 77. I assume you slotted the left and right side brackets in the rear. For the front side brackets, you slotted the middle brackets and probably slotted and bent the side brackets?

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

They recently released these for the 73-80 trucks

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Front frame horn was cut and reworded to shorten. Side brackets just drilled new holes further in the frame. Have to not the drivers side for steering gear clearance. Rear brackets shortened and others drilled further in.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Extremely nice!!

Where did you buy the 73-74 grille from? I have yet to find anyone who still has the reproduction available.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

This grille was purchased from KeyParts as a GM restoration part but has since be discontinued. I do not know of anyone that is making them at the moment.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Installed the newly release US Mags Boulevard rims also. I really love em!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

New licence plate too

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Nice, I like the new wheels and the plate. The truck looks awesome as always.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thank you very much

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Any explanation of the "New Mexico Milk" front plate? Are you a producer?

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

No but I live in a area that is heavily populated with dairies and the largest cheese plant in the US. My pay check is greatly influenced by my dairy customers and when one gave me the plate I thought it would be cool to put it on that truck. Around here it’s no big deal but at shows or out of town it creates interest.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thanks. It caught my eye, because that's what I spend my time at. It's a very small dairy, just 50 Jerseys with some grazing, and I'm a one man show. Not very profitable, but I still have hope.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Bichin build, sir.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Love it! Big fan of two-tones!! Plates are awesome!! Mike

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thanks guys

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Finally installed my SloshTubz and did the Delmo Speed conversion along with Holley components to add a little nostalgia to my LS. Had a great time at c10sinthepark and was honored to be picked to be among the top 50 to park on the square for the after party.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Lookin good!!:metal:
