ive been having the truck for a year now and ive had many problems with it but i love my zu lol

hell yeah, you gonna do the amigo rears too?

Yeah I'm gonna do them one day lol I gotta get the flares and a new bed first,I just hate ridin in it looking like a dually in reverse lol

Man I love those old mags! Would be cool for an old school build if they would tuck.

i'll tell you this. IF you ever come across the rear quarters, get them. I had found 3 amigo's in a junkyard near me and got all the fenders but the passenger side rear quarter. They crushed the truck before i could get it off. havent seen another one since, and yeah the submarine wheel look don't look that great hahaha Have you test fitted any wheels yet? I tried a 17x10 mustang cobra wheel and i could tuck it no problem.

Yeah I seen 3 and I couldve probably made them work but I was short on cash lol but I figure I got a couple years before it'll be done so I have some time lol but I haven't realy tried to tuck anything other than my 17s yet

i meant to ask about your dash. I looked at putting the same dash in mine but the wire harness was different than the 91 style. Did you swap the entire harness into your truck or what?

also in response to your question from isuzuscene, we put the amigo ends on the bumper to even it up with the fenders, then we took two stock valences, cut them like uh... cut one in half, cut the other about 3/4 then fiberglassed them together. You really only need to add about 2-3in of material into the middle to bring the ends out enough to match with the bumper and fenders. All the ones i'd looked at people just left the valance short on the ends, but that doesnt look right and little details like that bug the hell out of me.

The dash swap wasn't too bad,I just spliced the wires from the stock switch to toggle switches and mounted them in the dash lol works pretty good!!

And I'll probably look into widening the valence,the short bumper isn't that bad but the short valence kills the look lol
