Im gonna change the grille to the older style like the 90's model had.

Want this style grille with billet inserts http://www.cars-on-line.com/36300/90chev36364-2.jpg

I think that would look pretty sweet.

Ok i bought a 89 nissan hardbody today, reg cab. I took the engine apart on the full size GMC last night. Both headgaskets were blown and the heads are cracked so its gonna need a motor. Well thats going to take about a months time because an engine for the GMC is gonna cost about a grand. Do i bought this little hardbody today that runs and drives. Now i have a question. Is it legal to have a 1yr old in the hardbody in a car seat?

Is it legal to have a 1yr old in the hardbody in a car seat?

i think that depends on your local and maybe state laws. i dont think its legal here. to me it would be like putting it in the front seat on the car and you cant do that. even if it is legal, i didnt like having my daughters car seat in my truck, just didnt feel like the safest thing to do.

I think it's legal, you just have to mount the childseat backwards. With the kid facing the seat, oh and turn the passenger side airbag off if equip.

dang so when i bag it i cant have bags on the passenger side? what a shame
LOL J/K
dont think a 89 HB has airbags anyway! If it does then there not inside!

lol, but seriously I think you're alright putting the child seat in a single cab. The DOT can't expect everyone with a kid just to drive chick cars

I picked the truck up for 1500. Gonna cost about 4-500 to fix the engine and 250 for tires.
