Re: 1984 GMC short box rod

Re: 1984 GMC short box rod

Everything you have done to this truck is exactly what I want to do with mine! But that's okay, atleast this thread gives me some damn good ideas!

Re: 1984 GMC short box rod

I really like the way they flow. And the stance is almost perfect if your going for the hot rod style. How's the ride in it. Alittle bumpy?

Re: 1984 GMC short box rod

current policy ends that date..going with a new/better/cheaper insurance company.

not sure about the states, but insuring an old vehicle in canada is not an easy task...sure we have classics insurance, but their is an age limit. and 23 is to young...
