: filler panel piece for below grille with body lift
Fast68 09-09-2009, 01:16 PM need to find out what to do about the gap there will be in the front below the grille to the top of the stock bumper on the 82 k10.
how do you fill this in?
does any place make a custom panel piece for this for these 81-87(91) trucks?
any pics of any that have been lifted and have this problem solved ?
thanks

brooks294x4 09-09-2009, 01:26 PM puta peice of anything there, diamond plate, paint some scrap, make it your own custom peice. or like said above, relocate your bumper
jonx4x4 09-09-2009, 01:36 PM Build a new bumper. You know you want to!
Fast68 09-09-2009, 06:37 PM haha yeah well i cant fabricate though
not within my area of talent
besides, he wants new stock style bumpers on it anyways
and he doesnt want anything cheesy
he is spending serious money on this truck
i was thinking maybe buy an aftermarket front roll pan for it and modify that ?
would that work ?
getting ready to lift the body, just got done taking body mount bolts out a bit ago
i think o reilly auto parts here is able to get the body lift kit maybe
find out tomorrow on that
thanks
dfl701 09-09-2009, 06:42 PM Don't do a rollpan. If he is gonna do it right than get the relocation brackets and be done with it
redtruck 09-09-2009, 07:19 PM Ditch the body lift
StockChevy 09-10-2009, 04:22 AM Ditch the body lift
x2. If it's big enough that there's a visible gap...it's too much body lift:smokin:
flatblack83 09-10-2009, 04:59 AM I have a 3in body lift.....i changed my front bumper to an older warn then made 3/8 plate brackets with a skid plate to raise it up 2 1/2 inches. The rear bumper i used a roll pan although i have a newer bed.. heres 2 pics one when it was black primer and the other of now ....its green...
glenns89 09-10-2009, 09:59 AM I would relocate the bumpers upward like stated above. If you put a filler piece in there it will look weird and too tall under the grill.
Filthy McChevy 09-10-2009, 09:59 AM What about your fan shroud? Thats more important.:homer:
J-Ohlin 09-10-2009, 05:53 PM ya, body lifts are GAY.:rainbow:
trkklr77 09-11-2009, 12:03 AM there isnt a gap uless you have removed the lower panel completely.
the 3"bl put the panel just a hair over the top of the bumper in its stock posision.
Grumpy_old_fart 09-11-2009, 12:16 AM holy crap... body lifts... whats the deal here? its bad enough people cant get under a truck with a tape measure, but now they want us to help them decorate the trucks they fuck up with a body lift?
take your condom decorating ass back to the mall. The 15 year olds wont care if you can see through the gap between body and frame. to them its just a monster truck.
we know what it is.
