Heres a few. The chrome on the drivers door is crooked. He misaligned it somehow. But it's a driver not a show truck.

Thanks, I'll pass on the message. I'm trying to get him to change the grille to an 85-86 or the 89-91 sub front end. I don't like the repro LMC one he has. Thanks again.

regarding this aftermarket LMC grille.

I've got an 87 c10.. and have been looking for that exact grill..

http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/full.aspx?Page=67

But that LMC duplicate doesn't appear for 85-87, is that the one listed for 81-82? (models 68/69) ? If so, did it fit the 85 without an issue, can I expect it will fit my 87?

Thanks.

They only list it as an 81-82 grill because that is the grill those model years had. You can use it on the 83-87 trucks, but I think the bottom mount holes don't line up. It's an easy fix though.

Nice trucks, I've been thinking about getting a set of Vette chrome rallies for my truck to swap out once in a while. Let me know if anyone out here has a set for a good deal.. 15x8, and 15x10 PLEASE.

o..m...g. this truck is too nice, its like he knew exactlywhat i wanted mine to look like! lol, if i may ask do you have an idea of the backspacing? and i agree on the grill swap, it just seems to plain to me, kind of takes away from the rest, sue, its a simple truck which looks great, but the grille is too simple
