im debating on whether i should take my steel bumper off or just leave it on. i want to get a new one eventually thats closer to the body because mine sticks out very far as you can see in the pics. does anyone still have the stock bumper on? i havent seen any that i can remember on here.

 

I bet going over that hill to find a huge ditch really puckered your butt hole

 

^hahahahahahah

 

Half doors coming soon! i went to the pull a part in birmingham and got these for $88. they came off of a 86

got the driver door off to do a test fit

it fits great!

will probly cut them tuesday? still have to make quick release hinges for them

 

Looks good! Plans for the latch on the half doors?

 

not quite sure yet. the doors were gutted when i got them..so ill probly just rig up some simple latch thing...

 

I found a bumper on craigslist and the guy says "will fit 1980 thru 1985 for sure and might even work for 1986 and 1987 truck"
so does anyone on here know if the front bumper brackets will be different? will it fit?

 

thats weird, 84-88 should be the same...and 79-83 are different from those. you should ask him what he had it on

 

It came off of a 1983...

 

nice look truck, its so clean

 

got the half doors cut today! going to finish them tomorrow hopefully


passenger door finished.


both finished

my K&N filter came into advance auto parts today, so i picked it up!

 

and my add-a-leafs came in today! will try to install them this weekend.

 

sweet build man, i like the half doors. i might be tryin to find some this summer haha

 

yea, in the afternoons its already hot enough for them. i still have to figure out how im going to do the inside panel of the doors...

 

Probly going to put fiberglass on the inside of the panel. my uncle is going to help me do it tomorrow

 

ya man post pics after i want to see them all done

 

I see gloves but no safety glasses/goggles:


you would be surprised out how much a sliver of cutoff wheel or metal hurts when in gets in your vision ball.

 

^ i second that. i had to go to the hospital once to get a metal sliver removed. needless to say i learned my lesson. now my left eye vision isnt 100% anymore

 

worked on my doors today. my uncle is showing me how to do fiberglass. it seems pretty simple. it should look good when its done.
passenger side door

driver door. this was my uncles idea and i think it will awesome when it gets finished!


took the passenger door off so i can put the quick release pins in

 

the doors are finished!


i just need to sand them down
we welded these hinges down because my release pin wouldnt go all the way down with the bolts in the hinges


i also made a battery tie down while i was at my uncles shop


just got a 8" bolt from lowes and used a scrap piece of metal..
