my 80 build

[GMC Guy]

did you get a deeper tone with the added pipe?

oh, and your air cleaner lid is backwards

[flamingbig10]

its more of mellow tone before it was a rumble tone, didn't notice the back word air cleaner
added dual courtesy lamps, it much more visible in the cab at night, next will be clear dome lamb lens and the correct size bulb, now it has a side marker bulb in it


redid the gauge panel now I have working indicator lights and visible gear indicator but would like to add a parking brake indicator thought

[flamingbig10]

new parts new pedal pads, new dome light, glove box liner and glove box bumpers



wile I was taking pictures I looked up and saw this

[JohnC]

The parts that add those little touches often get overlooked. Good job man.

That's a hilarious shot of your cat. Only thing that would have been funnier is if you heard it looked up as it was jumping down at you.

[menace121978]

you planning on going a different route??

[flamingbig10]

really been wanting to do it for awhile now that I have the funds why not

[texasfunk]

i think its going to look good with a bumper! idk y, but i have never liked the look of a roll pan out back unless the bumber is gone up front..

[flamingbig10]

I got rid of the euro tail lights for new stock tail lights

[flamingbig10]

[3r!c84]

looks good.i want one for mine

[JohnC]

That looks good man. I personally like the sport bumper better than the roll pan. For some reason the roll pans on these trucks just look weird if you don't do a roll pan on the front.

So what's next on the list for the truck?

[silvereagle07]

The bumper and the tail lights look good flamingbig10.

[flamingbig10]

thanks Jeramy

finish the defroster vents only blows on the driver side, valve covers gaskets, trany fluid change, get wipers to go faster or replace they only wipe slow, finish the bumper brackets, and new gauges

[JohnC]

What gauges do you have in mind?
