wayno Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Lot of custom stuff done to your truck, it actually looks good with single headlights. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
dainja97 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks huys it was an originaly california truck. been parked in a barn in indiana since 1990. The original owner had the v6 professionaly built and placed on the truck. even the flares was done in a professional manner. Quote Link to comment
dvdswan Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 sharp looking project you've got there. breaks the heart to see someone loose 2 headlights for a tube grille though. Quote Link to comment

dainja97 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's sure different! Tell me - do you still have "high" and "low" beam lights??? I ask because "back in the day" we would swap the quad 5.75" lights for dual, using motorcycle headlights so we retain both "high" and "low" beams. I don't recall anyone doing it to a 521 before, just 620's - plus the insides were converted to TRUE amber fog lights. B) Your truck looks great - thanks for posting oics! the truck does have high and low beam , and all the modifications made was done in such a tasteful manner I think am gonna leave it as it is .I definitely gonna clean up the engine bay and spray the entire truck next year. Thx for you all input.. I feal really good having this truck , I have not seen one in my chicago area and if I do happen to see one I dont think am gonna see one with a V6... My dad knows everything about the GM motors since he is a cutlass and regal freak, so wrking on this truck will be cake for us!!. Thx for accepting me on this group and one question, is there a facebook page for this forum? Quote Link to comment
