Finally, some PICs.

It has been a long six months getting her where I wanted her. She came with ZERO rust issues and a new 350 crate motor. I replaced the entire interior, down to all the fasteners. Then a new old service STC Top, 6" Spring Lift, Dual Stabilizers, Paint, Mirrors, Bumpers, Grille, Lights, Markers, Tires, RIMs, Pinstripe, etc.

Very Nice!! Bravo not too much just enough!

Thank you. The bumpers are from Kennesaw Mountain Bumpers. Lots of write ups on them here on the site. They are a TERRIBLE company to work with. Lots of fit issues and they take no responsibility for them. Had fit issues with both front and rear bumper, hi lift mounts and spare tire mount bolt spread. They do look good and I know very few options exist for a 1st Gen, but I would not buy from them again.

Great K5!!!!! I have heard the same type of response about Kennesaw - just amazes me that they wouldn't take advantage of being one of the few that has bumpers for our rigs instead they just keep making a bad name for themselves.

I can't see your pics, my work's firewall is blocking them or the site you have them hosted on..anyway I have one of the first KMA "Winchers" for a firstgen..I got this bumper in 99 - took like 8weeks I have added gussets to the winch tray and had to extend it out a bit or the winch would smash my grill. It's built solid enough for my needs and I have bashed it a few times on trees or rocks. KMA is like USA6x6 ~ takes FOREVER and it's a crap shoot to wether it will fit right or not....
I'll check out your rig from home someday...

Well Done! Thanks for saving another first gen.
