wayno Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 You can put these photos on here real easy, it will just take time, check each box/photo you want to post, go to the bottom and click choose action, go to bottom and click generate IMG code, down to middle box and copy full size IMG, go to your thread reply, click in field, right click and paste. No more than 10 photos at a time in each post. What are the headlights out of? Is that an intercooler? 1 Quote Link to comment
baldredhead Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 cooool i went to hot august nights in reno one year, and at the drag strip there was a burnout contest. someone had a pinto with a 2.3T motor in it. the turbo and camshaft were upgraded but the rest was stock. he claimed 300hp at the wheels and with different programs and appropriate gas octane it still got something in the 20s for MPG Quote Link to comment

battlewagon Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 pretty sure Cheby dipped into the parts bin for those on a few models... sweet build, my one single aesthetic beef would be the hood scoop. I think you could dig up, or build something a little more rounded to match the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 i like it but why those headlights? the quad round headlights look so much better Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I Would Assume He's Wanting Square Headlights But Also Wanting To Be Able To Add HIDs I Did This To My El Camino... And Later Switched To E36 Headlights Quote Link to comment

svo521 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 you could get round housing that are hid ready on ebay for cheap howdy, i would have used the stock headlights but part of the deal to get the truck was that my friend get the parts he needed for his bagged 521... engine trans... and yes headlights lol so i had to adapt and overcome.. plus i kinda like the junk yard dog look :-) Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 ofcourse I am sure there are several member on here that would have a grill and the headlights too, that would be interested in selling Quote Link to comment
