My 93 Chevy short box/ 95 GMC long box

I ve been a member here for a while and started a build thread for my 95 when I first signed up. I have always wanted a frame scraper so im posting here to give me more motivation to get er done. I recently got a 93 chevy because it was in such good shape minus the peely paint. My 95 will now be my " work truck" kept mostly stock. I will eventually get my 93 on the ground As I have no garage of my own and borrow one when I can.
I will try to post pics in the order that my trucks progressed.
Please feel free to comment and if you want you can check out my 2 threads in the build section. my first parts truck ( used transmission and some interior parts for my 95. Was going to use it for panels but went to look at it again and was pretty rusty) cost 350. my 95 on way to get tranny done. my 95 rims I bought for 750 with rubber an old grant wheel was given to me and I installed it rims on my cats look of approval got another parts truck ( took grill. seat. Fenders. doors. seat belts. Stereo trim. And speakers) when I got the doors blasted realized there was 1/4" of bondo in most places and that it had some rust holes so scraped them. Fenders had holes for flares and we're black . I never ended up using them.. cost 500 my truck at work in our muddy as* parking lot roll pan put on my 95 and quickly bombed white hauling a yard an a half of dirt just one on my 4 trips b4 I ordered 12 yards delivered. ( bought a house in leduc previous owners had 2 female dogs so back yard was 60% mud 30% yellow grass 10% green grass. Progress on truck stopped around this time to save for house then on doing stuff around house.) These trips probably were the demise on my transmission (one I put in about a year previous to this pic) tranny was gone for month or 2 my cousin came across the 93 so I bought er for 1000 has the famous peely pain needs cab corners and ds front fender an interior door panel found a pic of my other parts truck an old kaltire service truck 550$ gonna eventually use the 6.0l that has edc allready on it and make a trailer with the hydyolic lift. cab corner before during after. 1st time doing cab corners. No bondo on it as I plan on paint probably next year. rims coming off my 95 and on my 93 the 93 came with drop springs and shocks installed in the front and I installed rear hanger and shackle drop I believe it's about a 2/4 drop.
went and spent 550 at junk yard got a tranny and box/canopy for my 95 for my 93 I got new fenders 4 light grill and tail gate. seat covers for me kitten for friends kid bday. transmission and front shocks(monroe) going in 95 plugs wires cap and rotor and changed to synthetic oil.($100) Givin a bath to my truck

Went to junk yard yesterday spent 147.00 on 2 doors with power windows and locks. Grey interior not sure what to change it to. Not a big fan of red maybe cause I'm used to blue. Also got a fender for my 95. Here's some pics of trucks as of right now. Doors will be installed once I bet my eBay delivery of back up camera and keys made for locks. 216000k 510000k got bumper and hitch on yesterday some spare parts

Started as a heap, but your doing a good job on it. Impressive results on your first attempt at cab corners.

Some things done but forgot to put in.
When putting in rear drop accidentally burn brake line cutting u bolts off.replaced rear lines and u bolts
Put roll pan from 95 onto 93
Airhorns on 95
Aluminium toolbox was bought at garage sale couple years ago $100
Couple years ago rock guarded and put homemade dynamat in cab of 95
Bombed rims that came with 93 white and put on 95

Just a side note when I say "I put in" it may have been me helping my cousin(journeyman mechanic). Transmissions for example. I could not have done all the work that's been completed in the last few months without him. I can ask him what size bolt is this or that and he knows which saves me lots of time. We trade work my welding for his mechanical. Here's some pics of stuff I've done weld in new horn and cross member on a 2014 1 ton diesel gmc cut in locking hood pins in a steed mustang made a tranny crossmember for this 73 reinforced trailer after 1 of welds broke welded o2 sensor and shortened brake pedal and made bracket for kick down /throttle cable in this 53 welded his receiver after he had problems with it moving welded in sub frame conector in this 89
