There's a lot more pics of the parts install on my build thread page in my signature.

I am satisfied with how everything looks and turned out. Keep in mind as well that back then from the factory the parts for these trucks had a 3/8 inch +/- tolerance for parts!!!! That's atrocious by todays standards!

I have put on aftermarket doors,fenders,hoods and front end and I have put on the same from GM,Ford,Mopar,and some of the others. I have had to take a rubber hammer, plasma cutter and a mig welder to just as many factory as aftermarket. This day and time the companies just don't care about quality anymore. why spend $500 for a hood when I can get you one for half that paint it put it on your car and since you already had it appraised for the $500 hood after your insurance deductible sometimes you have money to put in your pocket for a change.
