Well this is my third attempt at making a build thread hope the pictures work this time.Ive had this truck since march of 2010. Everything it has now was on it when i purchased it. Great start its a Georgia truck.The only rust on the truck is in the bed from being used and its surface rust.The truck is a 88 crew cab dually, it currently has the 454 TBI engine. It is C-notched and baqgged (re8s all around). Thorbecke Brothers 4 link. Dual Air Zenith compressors 1/2" line through out with 2 5 gal tanks.
Being delivered to me from atlanta ....pushing it for this trailer whew

Idunno man...are you sure you want to do Caddy lights? I'd almost be tempted to leave them stock, and install the stock grille.

Looks like a solid truck! Nothing wrong with the "plain" look!

Funny you should say that about the grill I just bought a 91 sub/blazer frontgrill,lights, core support,with the wiring harness today!! my plan with the caddy lights are to bring the bumper releifs out flush and flip the lights upside down and switch right to left and they will be down low in the new area where the bumper reliefs were.
