Looks awesome. Where are you going to relocate the handle/window popper? I've always loved the way this looks. I wanted to do it myself but it wasn't practical for the wife/kids.

the truck has about 80k miles on it i'm not for sure at the moment i did a escalade dash swap and as of now i got 15k on the new dash...

i got solenoids on the window and hatch, went to the bone yard and got them off a mercury cougar trunk they work like a charm i will try to post pics of the set up

 

[puckhead]

pics would be great! Always though this would be a cool mod, just dont have the know how/skills/tools to do it and dont want to pay for anyone to do it

 

[carcrz]

UPDATE UPDATE

well i finish installing the solenoids from the junkyard and to my surprise they wasn't strong enough to open the hatch so i had to spend $80 bucks for some 60 pound solenoid at summit and they work real good

here it is after installation

still got a little bodywork to finish up,and the shaving will be done. i will be starting a new project. i will be shaving the gas door and relocating the filler behind the tail light if anybody have done this before please chime in, and give me some pointers am gonna need all the help i can get i will started saturday am wish me luck will post pics then.........

[puckhead]

That is pretty sick! never heard of someone doing that but I like!

 

[dwmmatt23]

man that is some sick custom work, keep the pics coming

 

[carcrz]

well what's up people i did some more work today and i think i got a lot accomplish i'm very satisfied by the way things are coming along here are some pics

had to shave the little tabs on the right so it wouldn't rub on the body and be able to close

had to use 3M body panel adhesive to hold the tail light to the bracket this thing is like liquid metal once you put it on is like impossible to get off good stuff.

looks pretty stock. what you think??????

got more pics will post later stay tune

i love the idea of hiding the fuel door!

how are you gonna make it stay shut? do a little popper type thing on the manual release fuel doors?

the light stays close by it self but i'm thinking of adding a solenoid so i can push a button to open it and close it but that will be after i paint the tuck

Did you have to do any mods to put it on? That shit looks good....
