Looks quick just sitting there. I really like how you have your rollcage tied in. Very serious GM hauler.
Keep at it.

Cole's 87 · 02-25-2003, 09:29 PM

Man that is just tooooo sweeeet . I think the roll cage going threw the cab is what sets it off.

*1FaastC10* · 02-25-2003, 09:34 PM

Steve, in that before pic, what is the drop? and the rim and tire sizes?

Silveradoshorty · 02-25-2003, 10:43 PM

WOW...that is coming together real nice. Is your shifter mounted on a bracket? Interior looks really slick

apstguy · 02-25-2003, 10:56 PM

Oakey bed! My truck had a brown hood, left fender, and lower grille vallence w/ the rest of the truck black. That's how she got her name... brown eye!

gchemist · 02-26-2003, 12:26 AM

Do you plan on taking off the rain guards? Might help stop speed.

Very nice work.
