I think my plan is eventually I will build some sliders/steps that are more functional for both getting into the truck but also protecting the rockers.
I also was going to pull the grill off and paint it black, but it's kinda beat up and broken, so I'm just going to buy a new aftermarket one

Thank god you painted those, so much better. Now put in a chrome grill as God intended. And polish or replace the foggy headlights and that will be a real looker.
Lol I was just going to say you need to do something about that white grille and mirrors and front bumper. I just got a grille and a headlight/turn signal kit from 1aauto.com and it fit perfectly and a decent price.
I was kinda thinking of going a full black grill. I think a black grill and painting the factory fender flairs black would be a real good look. We'll see what I can find.
And for sure I'm going to probably just get some replacement headlights and be done with it
I think I may put some later model tow mirrors on this thing (black obviously) and eventually I want to get rid of the stock bumpers and put some aftermarket beef bumpers on with a winch on the front...but that is a while down the road. We'll get there
Definitely do the newer mirrors like @GWeakland620 has on his.
thank you for fixing those corners, it was bugging me.
All the lights on the front end are cheap, don't waste your time polishing them.
and I vote for a chrome repop grill
My brother put those same mirrors on the 96 K2500 I sold him last year, and I like them a lot. For sure will get those
So now you want an OBS that is white with a black grille and black fender flares? Why don't you go ahead and rock some black steel wheels haha.I was kinda thinking of going a full black grill.

Then you can tow your blacked out blazer with your white and black OBS, then I'll do the same thing.
I'm kidding. I think it would look real dang good.
It will have black steel wheels eventually too but no hubcaps, because I don't subscribe to the weird stock hubcap fetish that everyone else has on this forum site...I actually can't stand the look of stock hubcaps, it's usually the first thing I yank off trucks I buy if they are still there

What's a OBS?
A medical abbreviation meaning "overactive balls syndrome". Symptoms are random surges of anger, frequent screaming, and the urge to kill someone. Generally occurs in someone's teen years.

Thank god. I thought I was the only one on this website that hated the stock hubcaps!
It'd be different if they were actually good looking!
@skunked, I just actually laughed out loud at my desk at work reading that
lol awesome

Come on Greg. I am waiting for you to tell me what an OBS is
Tagging in for the fun!
I can’t say what I want to say. Lol
I’m finding myself doing that more as I get older.
The term OBS stands for “old body style”. It refers to the 88-98 gmt400 platform.
