1976 GMC Stepside

[mike-81-240d]

My E-penis has always been too small to admit it, but I love trucks. Your stepside is fucking killer. Like holy shit. Love the way your taking it.

It is pretty much level with the frame, The picture makes it look like the back piece curves down but it doesn't.

Also got a new steering wheel.

Next im going to shave and smooth the bumper. We decided that were going to go with a color matched bumper because its not in that great condition and would need to be re-chromed and that would be a lot more than sending it with the truck when it gets painted

This is what it will look like, minus the fog lights. I think it looks pretty badass

Your truck is sweet!!! Love the tails in the roll pan, and the wire tuck! EFI is awesome!

Was the sound deadener easy to put down and work with? Does it seem to do the trick? (I know it probably hasn't been driven like that) Does it make a difference when shutting the doors and such?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm trying to formulate a plan for my stupid loud truck..

That is one fresh engine bay, and that front will look real kick ass too. Since the bumper is going to get painted, have you thought of narrowing it a bit? It seems a bit chunky on that black truck.

Just a thought.

Thank you! It was fairly easy to work with, just took a little bit of time to put in. I cant say how well it worked yet because we haven't even had the doors on yet since we put it in. The only place I can tell it made a difference as of now is on the back wall, when you tap it from the outside it doesn't sound like a tin can on the inside now. Im sure it will make a big difference.

I have thought of that and im going to make the bumper fit perfectly, Im going to move it closer by about an inch. There is only about an inch gap between the outside fender and the bumper and when I move it back that gap gets even smaller, so I actually cant make it much narrower. But if I can I will.

Edit: Did you mean narrowing vertically? I never thought of that..

[benz88]

have you thought about running an OBS(88-98) front and rear bumper? I spotted a truck your gen a couple weeks around with it done and it looked great.

wires wat wires, srsly theres wires in there somewhere!? haha. j/k looks sick

not to tell you what you should do.. but i think you should black out the grills also, those headlight surrounds just look kinda cheap in the example pic, it made me start thinking about how you could possibley even keep the grill and make it just the two round head lights filled in with sheet metal, maybe when i get home ill photochop it for ya

eitherway trucks a winner as is

Awesome progress! This is in my bookmarks bar haha! I love this thread

[Riegs]
