This is an update photo from my last post here.
I put in the phantom grille I've had laying in the shop for a year in and I think it gives the 84' a whole new look?
Had to shine it up and take it for a cruise too!

Love the stance. What all did you do to lower it?

maxh · 06-22-2014, 06:09 PM

Its a 5/5 Belltech. Flip kit coils and spindles I believe.

K.C.'s85 · 06-22-2014, 07:19 PM

Saweet!
That's what I like about these trucks just putem in the weeds and add bit of rubber and you got yourself a custom looking truck! btw thx for the comments and it always seemed to me you either love or hate phantom grilles no middle ground?

I always get that "ol' skool" reply probably cause I'm not exactly a kid and that's the way we did it in the day,cragars,ansen's,centerlines we took those "ugly" ralleys off as soon as possible,now I'm tryin to find another set for my 85 so it will look stock go figure.

At some point I'm going to build a phantom style grill and incorporate my logo onto the center. Cut the pieces out of brass and have it all chrome plated.

mud.man.rj · 06-22-2014, 08:10 PM

So just wondering, with that type of grill it blocks the headlights a bit, do they still work alright as headlights or not really, never thought of it just that I like the phantom grill.

I have a phantom grill like that and my headlights work fine with it.

Randy that looks like it was a conversion truck from someone like Choo Choo Customs maybe. The lump on the hood, visor and duck tail spoiler with the paint sure looks like one. Any info on it?

Randy83 · 07-06-2014, 08:18 AM

Yes sir.... you are exactly right, I bought this truck new in 85', then it kind of got away from me for a few years.. I got it back a couple of years ago and now I have decided to upgrade a little...well ok.. A LOT
