What holds those down?

They come with 3M double sided tape already attached like that used on late model exterior trim and emblems.

What kind of drop are you running on that truck? I love the color. If mine would only look a 10th as good.....

Hook'em · 08-03-2005, 01:59 PM

Call it what you will, that color is Burnt Orange. j/k Looks great, cant wait to see it around Austin.

2-1/2" drop spindles in front with stock coils, 2" drop shackles in rear and de-arched rear leafs 2-1/4".

72BlckButy · 08-03-2005, 09:24 PM

Also, forgot to ask, what size wheels/backspacing are those?

The color is beautiful but I know it has to be $$$$ if it was for 2005 Corvette, 2003 Hummer and 2004 Avalanche. Sounds expensive anyway. Looks kinda like a brandy wine color. Is that a stop and bed light on back of your cab? Nice

Was there not a original color close to this color??
Where did you pull your power wire to your tach from?? I'm doing a TPI 383 swap and I'm just about done. What did you use for a wiring harness??
Thanks.

krue · 08-04-2005, 02:28 AM

That is one badazz truck!

I believe there was a brown offered as an original color but this is significantly different than the factory brown.

Painless wiring harness for 1986-1989 TPI with MAF was used. The white wire on the coil is the tach hookup wire for this application.

The color was not terribly expensive, less than $300/gallon. Yes, it's a third brake light from about a 1994 Chevy truck.

Sorry. I meant to ask where you pulled your power wire to the Dist feed(Pink wire) from.Is it the yellow wire that used to run from the stater to the positive side of the coil??
BEAUTIFUL Truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's been quite sometime ago and since I've slept since then and suffer from CRS, I'll have to check this weekend and get back to you.
