Dad's '98 Resto

Are door handles purposely red or being replaced? It looks really nice!

Nope, door handles were smoothed and color matched to match the rest of the truck. Thanks!

Color matched bumpers look fabulous.

The quality of this photo isn’t the best since it was a Snapchat, but the new windshield and driver door glass is in!!!. Then fresh tint all around this summer.

That looks good. Been a few posts on the forum of some real hack job windshield installs/parts. What windshield did you use? I don’t need one, but would be good information to have.

I’m not sure, the shop has their own glass guy that does installs.

One step closer!!!!

Front grille was painted today!! I couldn’t be happier with the way this looks. I came across a box of brand new OEM headlights/parking lights and sidemarkers in my garage so those will look perfect in there. I plan on saving for a set of the Klearz brand clear sidemarkers in the near future. Finishing touch will be a billet bowtie.

Tailgate is also done and back on the truck. The rear end looks so clean minus the receiver hitch and crappy stock taillights lol.

Front end is back together somewhat lol. Still needs the lights and bow tie.

Looks fantastic! FYI - they do make receivers that tuck up and only leave the 2" square and some safety chain flanges showing.

Thanks!! I know Hidden Hitch makes something of the sort, but I’m not sure how far it’s tucked up.

I think Curt makes an OEM replacement so I may go that route so I have a brand new hitch without any rust. I feel like I’d have more time in this one than it’s worth if I sandblasted it and repainted it.

I like the way the hitch looks and why I installed a new Curt OE style hitch. OP, just have the shop paint yours, it looks solid.
