Okay, so a recent thread by BIGTRCKNWHEELS inspired me to ask what people have done to modify there lower valence on 3rd gen trucks. Post up some pics of your modified valences or what you have put in place (if anything) of the valence on your truck. Or, what you would do.

 

Heres mine. I tried to follow the lines of the valance when trimming. The drivers side was crunched 100% flat so its still dented up. But the passenger side is what im going after, also if I could do it again. I wouldve left the top part so it would wrap around the bumper, not stop at the front (if that made sence) Looks fine from head on, but a little wierd from the side.

 

Not a 3rd Gen, but...

The 3" BL allows the lights to fit flush in there. Brackets were welded to the frame to mount. The lights are a fog pattern. In hindsight, I would rather of had a driving light pattern, due to the location on the truck. Fogs are better towards the outside, I think.

those are great... keep em coming I need some ideas

 

Here's mine,



It's a 4wd bumper and valence on a 2wd.

I cut out the grillwork and smoothed it in before paint

 

How fast is that little thing targetnut?

I like how it turned out btw too

 

I was going for the "Point your fog lights to the sky" look.

 

denk, your rig looks amazing...

 

I read the other post, that is the infamous 'big f$%kin chunk of ice mod' right?

I need this thread because mine is in less than perfect shape

 

Haha, what is your story?

And I am glad you posted this thread, as I am considering doing something custom as well.

 

My story is this;
the truck belonged to my cousin who put a new engine and clutch in and then got high and slid it into a barricade. His dad (my uncle) wrote the title over to me for $1.00 (but he would not even take that) it runs like clockwork but needs some serious help. the valance is just one of the things...
here is a better view:

 

Awesome looking truck, targetnut. Bengals colors, hell yeah

 

Here's mine.



Even includes the oxidized paint on the hood!

I just put a ported head, cam and extensively modified manifold on it.

And it runs like a scalded dog

 

haha, I forgot you were the one with the long bed. That explains a lot though...

 

You can just take it off.

 

i really like your valance, i think i might copy it for my trilights if i cant get some custom holes further towards the sides and filled wth fiberglass, similar to a new vehicle.

 

Here is mine, cut most of it off...
