In all honesty, my thoughts on the grill... Get the small dings hammered straight, but that big gash on the lower passenger side should stay. Gives it character. If that's the only dent in the grill, I will love it lol.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

It will have a tool box setup between the cab and rear suspension.
Thhe grill will stay as is- i feel it gives it some character, the truck lived a hard life
I'm just happy it polished up quite well.

i say, beat up on it a lil more, when u said gash in the grill, i thot something gnarly hit it and mangled it up.
i looked and saw lil baby dents. it doesnt look mean enuff, haha! i would like to see some actual dents in that bad
boy, make her look mean!
also, love the straightness of the front bumper and how simple it is.
but to me, i just feel something is missing. may i suggest cutout holes
and some driving/fog lights?? its just screaming to be broken up by something
when you look at it head on!

I think the whole frontnd will look much different with a polished stainless front bumper. Not sure if it will get lights on it or not- thats just a detail and one of those "later" decissions. If it does get lights it would be a row af small lights all the way along the bottom.
The grill will stay for now, likley for good. Its not really one of those things you just order new (or find in perfect shape used), and it certainly doesnt bother me enough to worry about.

I love it. I think the row of lights would be sweet.
I'm glad you're keeping the grille as is. It's nice to have an original untouched (besides being polished) part there to show where this truck came from and how you breathed new life into it =).
Keep up the good work and thank you for the updates!

Word.
I need to see more Canadian madness
Wiring and plumbing is done (or very close to it) Much thanks to Oldschool for wiring diagrams.
Doors are mounted- still need to redo a couple pieces for the mirror brackets, find thinner door seal rubber so the doors close better. Interior needs to be assembled- carpet, seat installed and a lot of trim (that can wait till i start driving it)
Need to finish the wheel adapters (still) and a few other small things.
Its slowly getting there between lots of others things in life that are happening as well. No pictures for now.

Glad to those wiring diagrams were what you needed! Thanks for the props.
Wow man that's freaking a awesome build. I love everything about it.
Its plated and insured now, so i have started driving it. I will take pictures when the 22's and 24's are all on since its back on the 16's temporarily while adapters get finished.

The rest of the lugnuts will get cleaned up someday, and i will eventually get center caps for it- but for now its time to put some miles on it.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.
