Thanks!! Glad you like it!!
It's my daily driver. It has a 1966 327sbc with headers, edelbrock intake and 4bl carb,elect fuel pump,AT. I shaved the mirrors and the paint is called Blitz black (from John Deere?!!). It has 3" Spindles on the front and 4" at the back with shackles and spring mounts. The wheels are steel reverse deep dish with trim rings and baby moons(15"),Tires are Coker radials on the back and Diamondbacks on front,Had Cokers on front but ate them up!! Put off getting front end aligned!!! Ya I know Dumb!!! The thing that makes my 1987 truck real different is the 1957 Roadmaster Grille!!!!

Wildchild,
I really do like the truck. Red tuck and roll would be awsome.
Let me run this idea past you (I have been playin around with it for a while now) Your truck has twin stack headlights, remove the upper lights (or just cover them and unplug) and only have the lower lights in operation.
Mine does not have stack lights but I have been thinking about lowering them to the lower side and making my own headlight bezels.
Tell me what you think.

FlatBroke,
Do you have round or square headlights? Oh fudge!! I think if I remember from your "Dark"thread they are square. Ok, lowered would be different, but I think it will only work if you come up with a neat looking bezel,or maybe a Grille that's like a phantom but that leaves your lights in the open. I didn't know if my Grille would work but I wanted something other than what you could buy.( only found custom billet or tubes) But I love it NOW!!!, I was thinking of covers that went over both lights patterned just like my Grille.

I had actually been playing with the idea to replace the front clip with something off of an old dump truck or an old sanitation truck. I'm sure it would take some engeneering so it wouldn't be too wide, and the lower part of the fenders would have to be grafted off, but it might look pretty cool with my "Peterbuilt" theme. Stacks and all.

Didn't GMC use our cabs on their BIG trucks??? That clip would fit your firewall, Sure would be something to check in to!

I'm not 100% on that. Some of those trucks were 1ton and some 2 1/2ton. I'm probably wrong, but weren't those cabs just bigger all the way around? I'm not sure.

nope i drive one every day the only difference in the cab is the roof is a lil bit taller.....you could use the front clip but the fenders will be way wider than the cab....but its all fiberglass and easy to modify
this is just an example i drive a 05 c7500 flatbed

the front grill and lights do look good its just the fenders that need attention

The cab would work nicely. Just fab some fenders to go with the smaller wheel tire combo.,,,,,,a thought.

Motomech,
That is the front clip I was thinking of.
Bruce,
I was sort of thinking about the same thing. Wonder how hard it is going to be to find one?
HHmmmmm

Hey FlatBroke, Ask your garbageman where they send their old trucks when they Up date them! Probably could get a front clip for nothing from their boneyard!!!
