Wow, I didn't notice the flared bedsides. I love subtle stuff like that. Things like the 'door-gap' width of the tailgate fitment. Does this truck still exist?

The bed sides were pulled 1 1/2", just so they could fit the racing rain tires in back. I'd love to see where this beauty is today, hopefully still in Budnik's stable...

I sure hope it does still exist somewhere. It would be a shame to let this one go to waste.

I've never seen the Budnik truck before. With an update on the wheels, that thing would be sick today. S-10 tail lights? The rear roll pan/underbody panel has me thinking of something like that for my '98. I've avoided cutting my front spoiler, because I wasn't sure how it would look, but it actually looks pretty good. Anyone know who makes the mirrors, & if they're still available?
I've always prefered the later interiors, but this early style, done with those seats, works well. The rectangular blocks of the seats really matches up with the rest of the dash & door panels. Very cool. My dog would hate 'em. He barely tolerates the Escalade seats I have now.

Yup, they look to be streetscene Cal-Vu mirrors.

I have a set of my truck.

Just put a set of SS mirrors on my '98. Sure have to adjust your driving style. Gotta keep your head on a swivel. They're alright if your continually aware of what's around you. O.K. on the highway, not so good around town. I just hated the 'Dumbo Ear' factory ones. Someone once told me that it takes 2-4% of your fuel to slam those factory ones through the air, if that even makes a difference, overall.

Thanks a lot! Just what I was looking for.

I've never had the Sport mirrors, but I've been in trucks with them and would not like to have them. I have the Cal-Vu mirrors and also love them. They're a lot smaller than stock and have a better look, yet the glass is still good enough to give good visibility.

A little piece of trivia about the Cal-Vu mirrors that most don't realize, the mirror head and glass are copied from the Beretta, Corsica and Cavalier from the late '80s and early '90s. I actually broke one of my mirror glasses once and went down the the parts store and picked up a glass for a Beretta.

My '98 is going in the body shop in September. I got the SS mirrors on C/L. $20. Before it comes out, I'm getting some Cal-Vus for it.
