Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Sorry this is a PDF, but here's the rear bumper design that Keven came up with for me. Think it looks pretty good & WAY tougher than what I have right now!!! The holes on either side of the license plate (which isn't what mine will be) are for the trailer plug & the jumper cable quick connect.
He should have cut it out today & will get it welded up this week so hope I get picks to post up. |

Of course they are expensive! The military uses the 24V versions!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Worse yet, that's half the cost of the VisionX LED light bar on the front push bar... But. On the plus side I won't have ANY issues seeing at night in this thing!!!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Ugggg.... Today is the day I get back on a plane to head back to Afghanistan - this sucks!!!
Knew it had to come though... Been a good vacation home & so happy I was there for my SOn's graduation & enrollment in College! Also got to see my Daughter have her piano recital & of course all the work we did on her truck while I was here was GREAT!!! Boys in college & Daughter needs braces so it's back I go no matter what - hehe! Keven hasn't sent me any pics yet of the cut-out & welded up bumper, but hope he does by Friday. Keep checking back as I'll be posting again once I get back to my base like normal. |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Keven & I went back and forth a little bit to come up with a little better looking & tougher design for the rear bumper - think we hit it pretty good this time!!!
He added a nice little "kick out" at the bottom center & also dropped it a bit closer to the receiver hitch so there wasn't that large gap. He's going to try to do a "fold down" license plate deal to conceal a small compartment to hold my air & jumper cable quick connects so they aren't visible normally which I think will make for a nice effect if he can get it done that way!!! |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
And here's where we ended with my Daughter's truck... Not nearly as far as I'd hoped, but due to a snafu with the leaf spring bushing order I couldn't get the driver side spring mounted so I could get the axle mounted up solid...
We did get the fuel cell mounted up in place luckily. Oh well, there's always next time home!!! |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Your bumper looks awesome! Nice progress on your daughter's truck. It's coming along very nice.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
That is definitely a mean looking bumper! How close do those vertical plates get to the tailgate?

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
What's the ride height for your daughters truck? Are you going to paint it to "coordinate" with your 77CC?

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Her truck is getting a 3/4 static drop. It'll get painted flat black with orangish/red pin stripes to match the GMC trim & eventual wheel color. She wants a black leather interior with orangish/red stitching.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
I've asked Keven to look into smoothing the welds on the front push bar as well beveling the plates to better match the look of the new rear bumper. Also maybe the welds on the step tubes where they meet the rock slider rails. He's got that bumper looking so smooth it would suck for the rest not to match...
He should have the bumper final welded up & hopefully figure out the recessed box for the hidden quick connects. Their end of the project is close to being done really... Still have to add some lift to the rear do it isn't "squatting", finish the ash tray switch panel, have the shifter arm's fab'd up & some other odds & ends but should be able to knock it out before the Jeep Jamboree coming up! Of course then the whole process kinda starts all over again as Mario tears the truck right back apart.... Know it'll be worth it when it's done, but will be glad when I reach the end of this long & winding road!!! Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Found this pic on my Wife's Facebook page - didn't even know she took it... Is one of my favorite's though!!!
Should have some additional pics of my rear bumper this week - not sure what else they'll get done on it. Mario's itching to get a hold of the truck that's for sure!!! |
