Well i do not know what kind of whip it is but its length is 74 inches. with the spring and base its 81.5 it was just an extra random whip I had in the basement that my dad gave to me a while back if i remember correctly he said it came off a state patrol car from the 90`s.

I hear you man, there's time where things are going super fast and getting work done and sometimes you get a slow point and got to set aside cash for the next thing.

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
was at the swap meet yesterday and made a score on some super clean bumper guards! Picked up the whole bumper for $10. Had some issues removing that "one" bolt from the bumper after trying everything i could think of It was time to get serious so got the grinder out and went to town! Which I won and then polished em up and sprayed the rubber inserts. now I just got to get some new bolts and put them on

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
Painting the bumper guards. That's an interesting idea. I don't think I've seen that before....I'm wondering what it will look like on the truck...

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
looking at the front end of your truck mad this question come to my mind. what works best to polish chrome? like what kind of buffer or buffing wheel and what kind of compound? and sorry for getting off topic.

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
don`t sweat it. i just use turtle chrome polish and a microfiber cloth. It cleans and shines very well from my experience.

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
I need to go shopping, I keep looking at those bumper guards and they keep looking cooler and cooler, maybe I'll go buy some blue paint and go to town on my bumper guards but I think I'm going to do a little bit of a twist and actually paint my bumper black since afterall my color combo is pretty much black and blue.
Any updates on the truck?

Re: Lil Red, 1984 c10 shortbed barn find mild custom build
Sucks you weren't able to find anything man, but I like that license plate, believe it or not I think I have one similar to that just saw the heartbeat of America, either way it's cool I expect to see it on Lil' Red in the near future
