thank guys, love my 2wd, ordered me some sylvania 3157 white bulbs to replace the blue ones upfront, i had them in there for years, so hopefully that will tighten it up some. i am thinking of doing the rear maybe sometime this week. as for the bowtie, im kinda torn between billet or painted to match, bt i think the billet separtes it nicely. think im gonna save for hd hood and thats gonna be it for the show, need to look into more go.

did you paint that billet grill black yourself? did you just take it off and wipe it down and spray it?

thanks kevin, as for the grille, i wiped it down with soap, cleaned it with alcohol, sanded it down and scuffed it up, then painted it gloss black and cleared it. came out exceptionally well. i was rather impressed.

well, got the rear end completed already. cleans up very nicely, just dont like how you can see that little dent more since its no longer chrome.. will need to get some pics of it cleaned up, and i changed out the blue bulbs as well to some white sylvanias. after looking at the front end pics, and knowing i have the aftermarket not oem painted grille, i am having a frined paint my oem one and also a painted top pad as well, as mine was backed into the day after i put it on, so that way the front end is fresh and the bowtie fills the oem grille better. here we go:

had the blue bulbs



the front with now with new white bulbs





the rear with no more chrome

Man the truck looks great! Did you ever get the lift spindles? I think it'll look good on those 305/50s
