Well guys, progress will be slow for a while but I have some big plans for the old girl.
I got the truck when I was 15 and it looked like this.
It had 3" flares, windsheild visor, Ultra 15x8s with 31x10.5 BFG A/Ts
Mods it has
-3" exhaust, no cat, Dynomax Bullet, weld on chrome tip
1988 GMC custom exhaust rev
-1 1/2" blocks, bars turned up
-03ish Yukon 16's with 285/75R16 BFG A/Ts
-5" Autometer Sport Comp Monster tach
-Alpine CD player, had a full stereo but that has been removed
-Rebuilt TBI 350
-Rebuilt 700R4, B&M shift kit, TCI clutches Built by me
-97 Grille shell, headlights from a 90 Silverado
-cb with 2 3' white firesticks
with the AR Nitros
with the Yukon wheels
Plans have changed a few times now but new ones are just to make it usable as a truck since the 04 is long gone and I have a Jeep for cruising around and off road shenanigans. So I will use it hauling stuff, towing stuff, hunting, driving to work, being an asshole in traffic, you know normal truck things.
-5.3/4L60E, engine maybe very mild build but probably just stock, cai, efans, exhaust(as quiet as possible with a little rumble) and of course a tune so it will run right. Trans will get rebuilt and beefed up a little bit, again very mild just better clutches and bands, hardened sunshell, servo, good cooler
-14sf, Trutrac when the G80 goes(really want Eaton E-locker), if I can scoop one up cheap a 9.25" ifs center(would love to have an e locker in both) these are both maybe things because I honestly think that the 10 bolt will live for a long time.
-NBS 05+ front brakes, NBS Burb brakes out back
-Desert Rat Raton 17x8 4" BS, ideally I would like 265/70R17 Goodyear MT/Rs
-Diesel bumper with fog lights in the opening or chrome smoothie
-GMT800 Rear bumper
-Clean up factory hitch
-Bring the body back to a lazer strait gloss black, undercoat EVERYTHING so I can drive it year round and it will stay together
-35% tint on rear window and roll downs
-convert interior to black
-Autometer gauges
-GMT400 heated Suburban bucket seats, black leather with black suede inserts
-black suede head liner and visors
-GMT900 jumpseat
-Fosgate PBR33X2 running a pair of Fosgate P1 8s, have some bump and not lose the only storage a regular cab has
-Going to doa little cutting and squeeze some 5.25s in the dash and b pillar, thinking just Polk Audio DXi525s
-Nice cd player, really like the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X697
-sound deaden the hell out of the cab so it can be a nice quiet ride with out tunes if you want
-Kahlenburg D3 stuffed somewhere under it
-Convert to power window and locks
-2 way alarm/remote start
I'm sure I have forgot something but I will be adding to the list
