Re: New year, new body 70c10 to 86c10

So its been a while... Would like to say that the truck is home now. Drove it 20 miles home with no issues. Next project in line is the bumper. I know I didn't want to slap a stock one on there and was toying with the idea of modifying a late model Silverado bumper to fit, but I decided to stick with a kind of period correct one. Found what I think it a late 60's, early 70's Chevy van bumper? at a swap meet for a cool $40. It has a shorter height profile that a 70's C10 bumper and I think I can modify it to hug the fenders nicely. Started by cutting it in half to straighten it out. Made a jig with wood to get the profile of the 79 valance.
