Nice work! Very clean. Are you putting the utility bed back on or a regular bed?

Nice job!

That really has come along. I have to say I agree with the sentinment that the stock bumper doesn't really do much for it though. Maybe if it were painted instead of chrome, but it still blocks the view of that terrific looking valance. I think I'd want to show that off, but at the same time I'd want something out in front of it to help keep it that nice. One thought I keep having is that maybe chromed out light trim would pull the focus off the bumper. I'll see about getting a picture up of the truck I'm driving now. I polished all the paint off the light trim and it changes the look quite a bit.

If you weren't so FAR away I'd offer to trade you a stock bed for that flatbed. I know I could make my own but it would be much easier not having to. I've been thinking over putting a flat tray like that on, some sort of utility box bed, or just putting my roll bar and a tool box in the stock bed. I am kind of liking that "outback" look of the first before picture you have there.

8O WOW!!!! 8O

thats freakin AWESOME!!!!

i love that color :D great job noyz.

as for the bed issue i say leave the bed off put in a big friggen engine backhalve and narrow the rearend and pit the widest street slicks you can find on there.....just something about a small truck with no bed and wide tires :twisted:

oh and is that a ford maverick in the back of 6th pic?....i thought i was the only sick person that likes those things :lol: .....

again.....great job 8)

thanks guys, ive put my heart n soul into this luv and its finally paying off :)
to answer your questions,
the turn signals are off a toyota, i fabed up some brackets to suite,
about the bed, for now im just leaving it open back til i can aford to get a flat tray made up,
the green is not the original luv truck green, i got it matched from a box of nail gun nails...hehe
the bumper is painted not chromed, i would have liked to leave it off but i think i need it to pass a roadworthy,
the car in the background of the 6th pick is a valiant charger.
oh and slick, no i cannot do yours :P
