Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. Should be lots of fun though. Look forward to see it come together.

After receiving my early model luv front bumper I couldn't help but notice how much it resembled 1970 camero front bumper in shape and size. I purchased a set off ebay and plan on using them on the front of the luv. Here are a few pics of one lying next to the luv bumper.

Frame is in the shop being painted. Rear tires came in but they back ordered my rear wheels. Waiting on the whels so I can set up the bed, do the tubbing, then I can mount the cab, then I will be able to set my front end. Figure out the back spacing on the front wheels and order them. Should be to a point of having more picks up next week.
