Lots of variations on grills out there but only two options on the fenders and hood like in the first pic

So the front clips are different and can be swapped! Now how about the doors and fender flares and the tailgate. I just bought a 77 and I want to put parts from a 91 Burban on. The Burban doors are electric without a vent and of course that front clip.

front clip will work just have to cut slots for the hood hinges and beef up where they bolt on and angle cut the front frame horns doors bolt on just get the window harness from the burb grab a sport truck june issue they did a write up on the fron clip swap :wink:

Thanks, so the body lines from the front clip back are all the same? Is there any other tell tell signs to make the 77 exterior look like a 88-91. Sorry about trashing up your topic. Im done now!

Dammit, howcome every time I want to find pictures of that old skool conversion kit, nothing to be found. You old timers remember it

from the 80's, it was called the Shadi, or Shadii, or whatever. Was the coolest shit around. Kind of like a truck version of that fake Ferarri that they drove on Miami Vice :mrgreen:

Anyway this is my second favorite style,

F'in nice mod dude. That's a good look on that flat square front. Guess you had to angle them a bit to sit flat instead of how they fit on the curved front of an OBS.

I know some people bitch about the composite lights but when they're in good shape they look great, not hard to wetsand and polish them out if they're looking a little hazy.

Have you tried to see if the 94-up park lamps will fit to help complete the look?

i remember the fake ferrari body kits they used to make for these trucks..they called the "truxarossa" i think..because they were supposed to be a testarossa for trucks...they were great, heavy as hell, but would REALLY look great on a slammed truck....!!!! if someone finds one...LET ME KNOW!!!

I know of the Turxarossa, that one was a bit more popular than the one I was talking about. It was called Shaadi or Shadii, some crap like that. It didn't have the "bear claw" look to the sides like Truxarossa did, but it had a lot of the same crazy angles to the overall shape. Honestly it was hideously bad, hated it every time I saw one...
