Jeff Balazs Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 If that is the case then what about disc brakes, addition of aftermarket seat belts, replacement arm rests, replacement mirrors, etc? We need a symbol for sheepish........... sacreligious ? or maybe Downright disrespectful. Guilty as charged. Jeff Quote
ggdad1951 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) or you pay $400 you have an original straightened to factory specs... Edited December 3, 2013 by ggdad1951 Quote
48Dodger Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Posted December 4, 2013 A reproduction bumper on a classic truck is sacrilegious. It just seems disrespectful. I don't remember Patina being a factory color..... If that is the case then what about disc brakes, addition of aftermarket seat belts, replacement arm rests, replacement mirrors, etc? I think he's talking about the appearance of being sacrilegious....not being completely angelic. lol "Because it is better to look good than to feel good!"

The Oil Soup Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 Before and after photos of my rear bumper and tailgate. Yeah I know some of you purists won't appreciate it but I think Patina Paul will. Faux rust 4 Quote
pflaming Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 Now that's art! Great looking truck which is yearning to be driven. Quote
MBF Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) If aftermarket parts are sacrilege-what about hip & knee replacements, heart meds, etc. for the owners? We're all (trucks and owners) getting to the point the the OEM parts are wearing out and no longer available from the manufacturer. Yea, I know its only original once.......

rkldesign Posted December 7, 2013 Report Posted December 7, 2013 And them cats and dogs will start sleeping together and all hell will break loose. But seriously I do search for the nos or used part first then if I cannot find it I try other avenues. I am still hunting for a straight rear bumper if they are to be had out there Quote
