Thanks man, that is quite a bit cheaper than what I paid for mine.

You're welcome. Downside is knowing rockauto they'll probably try to ship them all from different warehouses lol.

Idk if it's TRUE but I heard aftermarket doesn't light as bright as oem. Just as a fyi

Normal people would just bolt this up, and the numerous (some deep) lacerations on my hand are proof why, but of course I have to be extra as usual.

Broke out the 80 grit and knocked the surface rust down some, and sprayed the inside of the bumper with Rustoleum semi gloss black

Did the same to the remainder of the bumper brackets. You know...the bumper brackets that no one will ever see lol

Once this crap dries, I’ll get it all installed and use some chrome polish on the bumper (even though it cleaned up well without it)

Better to do it right the first time.

Hey, you gotta keep our Chevys from recycling theirselves. I'd like to repair and repaint every square inch of exposed or rust prone area of mine.

Been a little slower progress unfortunately. But I finally decided to actually install the bumper. Also, one of my employees got his 99 classic repainted, and decided to replace all of his front lights, he then gave me his old lights, nothing better than free! Lol.

This is how she was sitting when I started.

Bolted the bumper on, fought like hell with the lower grille filler panel. After some bloodshed (my blood of course) I got the panel properly installed.

Bolted on my “new” headlights. Holy F they’re brown....

Of course I had a couple headlight polishing kits, so grabbed one of those and the cordless drill. This pic shows the left side done.

And the finished product, the pics don’t do it justice, but both headlights turned out really good!

This is the only headlight polishing method I use. I’ve always had great results out of this product.

As long as both of my drill batteries are charged up, I’ll have you rolling in less than an hour lol

More great info! Especially since both of my donor trucks are most likely the same shade of yellow brown!
