Looking good dude, and :word: on those mirrors. I couldn't see shit when i had them on the Silvy.
 
Eh, you get used to it. lol

Looking good man, next project?

Either its gunna get bagged, or tubbed front, bigger notch, raised crossmember and go 6/9 static until i haz money to bag.
I love this truck. Question, do you know what the prep stages were for your chrome grill?

Not sure, took it to a car collision repair place and had it painted for $100.
 
Shitt that's clean compared to mine, I work down a dirt road, then 18 wheelers driving by all day kicking up dirt and dust, have to hit the wipers everyday to knock off the layer of dust
