Re: My 85 c20 build attempt.

Nice truck to start out with! If it's orange and has clearance lights, I like it! I love what you did with the Chevrolet logo on the firewall, that's a really cool custom touch. I'll be watching this one. Keep up the good work!

Re: My 85 c20 build attempt.

Either way it will look good. I can't say I've ever seen a lowered orange rig with clearance lights. That's what got me curious.

Re: My 85 c20 build attempt.

this is what i did for my receiver hitch, i removed the rear crossmember for the frame and the spare tire bracket. After i removed the original mounts for the hitch i welded it to the frame and added some extra steel plating to strengthen it all up. This was all done to hide the hitch behind the license plate in the roll pan.
