    Bumper Gaurds

    I got a set on Facebook marketplace for 65 bucks. Ebay wants 150-250 a pair. The ones I got I had to grind the bumper off as they were cut out of the truck. That was the worst part but rubber is good and they show appropriate age for the vehicle. Couldn't be happier with them.

    What is this out of?

    Its definitely original vinyl, it looks old underneath. I picked it up at a thrift store and have been googling it to death. Cant find any info. The brackets look like they line up with the 87 perfectly, but haven't tried the install yet. It looks 50s ish but it's not that old. The closest thing...

    Good job. Ive got to tackle mine sometime soon. It looks a little worse than that to start. I bought some bondo and planned on using some pieces of steel to fill in speaker holes

    Cleaning rust/scale out of radiator, OUT of truck...?

    I wonder if you could use hoshizaki lime scale remover. I use it on my commercial ice machines and it gets the crap off the aluminum. Just a thought.

    Bed tie downs?

    I am constantly moving odd shaped, heavy or light pieces of restaurant equipment, racks, furniture, stuff like that. Are those stake hole insert tie downs no good? I read they can bend.

    What needs to be done?

    I just put a phantom grill on mine and I love it. I also searched for months to find the bumper guards, not to mention 5 hrs. Of labor putting them on. The grill is easy to change and it will create a whole new look. Stick the original in the garage for backup. About to do led dash lights, in...

    Thank you, good info there. When I first got it I thought, leave it all stock and go for the vintage look. Then I saw all the pics of what people are doing with them and it confused me. Lol

    Hi, new to the forum. I recently purchased an 87 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd automatic. I believe it is my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. I absolutely love this truck and am a bit obsessed with it right now. There are so many directions I could go with it but truthfully don't know where to start. Any...
