Yep, I've been steadily working on it for the past few months now compared to it sitting for almost a year after being painted. All I really have left is to lower the front 4", wheels/tires, finish widening rear fenders, spray-in liner, exhuast (I have the mufflers and cut-outs already), install billet vacuum canister, billet overflow tank, I'm in the process of doing a grille swap from a phantom billet grille, install the GM "sport" mirrors (yea I know I shaved the factory mirrors), finish wiring up all my Auto Meter Pro-Comp gauges and install my reupholstered 91 Suburban buckets. Should be good to roll by then.

Lots of nice trucks!

redrat · 07-09-2007, 02:08 AM

Here's a few pictures of my project. Its an 84 - 468 / 350. 12 bolt with 373. I want to bag it, but Im running low on the $$$ for now

. When its all put back together the front end should sit about 1 inch lower than the back (I HOPE)

. When I get more time Ill post some pictures of the rest of the build. Its down to just the frame right now. I love every thing about these trucks!!!

Is the tailgate you have molded in, or is it functional? I've kinda been looking for a new tailgate... I'm bored with the perfectly flat shaved one that I have. Did you just buy the the skin, or have it custom made?

Slammed '87 · 07-10-2007, 11:08 PM

Heres a few from a car show in Lethbridge Ab. Can. Pics are not the best quality, but you get the idea. Ofcourse i had to add a pic of my two trucks

Its functional. It was already on the truck when I bought it. But I have seen them in the Classic Industries catilog on page 400. This is a little better picture of the rear.
