yea im sure yours was probably pretty hard, i bought a glass hood for a chevy and trimmed it up to fit my gmc, that was actually pretty easy but like i said it was fiberglass, yours probably need the seams welded back together and everything so i see what your sayin

First off, just let me say there are some sweet *** looking trucks on this board. Good job to all of you!

I suppose I have to post up mine now. Here goes. Please excuse the crappy quality of the early pictures, didn't have a digital cam yet at that time. Also, I'm not going to list all the mods done in the pics, you guys can view that list at my website.

Just brought it home: May 1999


After the Hotchkis 2/4 drop:


20's, custom tailgate, roll-pan, and exhaust exits: 2002-2003


18" Timeless 6's, color-matched parts, Tahoe grille, powder-coated brakes:


Back to a normal tailgate and bumper, also color-matched plastics: 2004

I wanted to go with the chrome Tahoe grille and I liked the black fins of the Tahoe grille so the Speed grilles never went back on. Plus, everybody and their brother was starting to put them on locally so I went the opposite direction. My basic idea for the truck was a factory "touring" look after the tailgate/roll pan fiasco.
