Default 1990 Chevy Long Bed Hammered (56k Ouch)

Hey guys Im into a lot of different custom cultures. Diesels and Fullsize trucks bagged. I mostly like the stock look hammered. But im soon gonna change that an make my truck an old school them. Army green drab (very dark version) and maybe old 50's interior.
Heres some pics. I did all the work by myself. In the dead of winter lastyear. I had to bed my aunt to let me use her garage!

yea I just love trucks hammered or lifted.
IMO that trucks rides like a caddy! It was a great project for me. I mainly started it because my dad had gotten cancer it really really help to keep my mind settled and in a good direction! I told him he would be the first to ride in it. He love it. He has since then made full recovery YAY!

Yeah, there are so many short bed trucks lowered or bagged. An there are hardly any long beds at all.

Looks a bit rusty. You going to do some body work on it?

Looks good though. Nice work.

Looks good.... i guess "hammered" is a Northerner term as down south here we call that "slammed"... i "dropped my ranger about a year ago did a 3/5 kit on it.... i have all the bags and brackets to bag mine minus the 4 link but i'm gonna run a monoleaf but i lack ambition currently to do it..... anywho looks great especially you doing that yerself.... did you put a step notch in the frame or a c section? just wandering....
