Re: 'Bout down to bumpers
Nice Blaze, Dave!
I was kinda partial to the green with the red fender tho--kinda Christmasy:-) Actually a year ago I wouldnt have looked twice at a green truck but this forum has really opened my eyes to how nice the various shades of green are! Get the bumpers on, man and shoot us some more pics. Later---DAC

Re: 'Bout down to bumpers
Glad the weather is finally cooperating up there. Looks like things are going good for you. I really like that roll bar as well!

Re: 'Bout down to bumpers
The color is same as original. Roll bar is a different story. Couldn't find an original that I could afford to ship so made this one from a bunch of new pieces. The top bar is for a Dodge SWB and the kickers are from a Chev. SWB. I had to shorten the front bar by 2 1/2 inches and narrow it by 1 inch to clear the top. The kickers would have fit great as is except when ever you hit a bump, you bashed your head. They were right above seats. In order to move them to side I had to cut them in middle and rotate them 90 degrees. That made the bends work out. Everywhere I cut them, I put a round filler block pressed in ID to support joints. Thanks for the compliments,
hopefully bumpers will be on next weekend and get paint on new brake booster. Dave
