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 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?

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..
