    Well yesterday me and a friend of mine went out to a guy we knows farm were he has over 2500 cars and trucks. I took my old beat extra gmc grill i had with me cause he told me he thought he might have a good chrome one he would trade me for. Well we found 2 of them the first one was staight when he got the truck but it rolled a little to far one day when he was moving it and got a dent in the center of it. then we walked down the row and found a much better looking one. So i removed it and put my old one back on so the truck was complete.

    So here is some pics of how my truck looked when i got it on the road a few years ago and how it looks now. A lot has chanced. Disc brakes, powersteering, and from black grill and bumpers to chrome grill and bumpers. But i still want to find a little better looking front bumper. After putting the grill in it just looks tearable!! LOL! Enjoy!

    Thanks.. I'm happy with it but now the front bumper look terable. The chrome it it either needs redone or i need to find a differant one. So in time i'm sure ill do something.

    that's the ticket ~ one piece at a time .

    Beware of shiny re pop bumpers ! they're cheap for a reason .

    Your current bumper looks good to me , have it re chromed .
