CConlon's 97 Z71
Haven't posted on here in a long time & a lot has changed. Back in May, I saw an ad in the paper for some great deals (or so I thought) on brand new 2013 Silverados. Needless to say I bought 1. Traded my 2010 VW Jetta TDI in for a 2013 Silverado 1500 Z71. Truck has the 5.3 with the towing...- CConlon692

Haven't done much with the Sierra lately. Sat all week since my TDI had a full tank in it & the Sierra only had a 1/4 tank. Threw the fender flares back on to help break up the white. Grabbed a set of 3/4 ton leaf springs from a local salvage yard, those will be going on in a week or 2, just...- CConlon692

Well, went down to the local salvage yard & grabbed some 3/4 ton leaf springs for the truck. Figure since the rear springs are shot, I might as well upgrade. Once that's done, I think I'll just do a body lift on the truck & call it good. I got a few little things left I would like to do such as...- CConlon692

Pretty well shot so gonna start shopping around for either 3/4 ton springs or a lift kit with springs. Here are a few pics I snapped today. Let me know what you...- CConlon692

Well truck's off at the body shop getting painted. Decided to take the flares off for now, had to come off for paint anyways so we'll see how it looks when it's all done. Started my bedliner in the truck, mainly wanted to get the rails done on the bed before it had a brand new paint job. Threw...- CConlon692

Well the awesome deal I thought I was getting from Tirerack was too good to be true. Only had 2 wheels left. Instead, decided to get these: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?bp=6-139.7&yr=1997&pc=23965&counter=2&wd=17&rw=8.5&vid=011637- CConlon692

Little update on the old GMC. Dropping it off Tuesday for paint, getting rid of the black, going all white. Ordered a set of wheels off tire rack. 17x9 ATX Artillery wheels, 60% off so couldn't say no. Just gonna have to find tires now. Can't wait to get it looking like new...- CConlon692

Finally got the cab lights on, sadly gotta work on the wiring still. Decided to run 4 instead of 5 mainly b/c of my OCD not really liking odd numbers. Bedliner's still on hold too. Quick pic:- CConlon692

Making some good progress today on the old GMC. Got home late last night from my Vacation to Montana to see my uncle & came home to a pile of parts. Slept off the jet lag for the most part & got to work. 1st order of business was removing the plastic bedliner b/c tomorrow I'll be putting a roll...- CConlon692

Other thing I may do is just pick up a new set of all terrain tires for the stock z71 wheels & have them mounted right at the shop.- CConlon692

Nah, it had the black front bumper when I got it. I'm not a big fan of 2 tones.- CConlon692

Thank you, pretty pleased with it. It's getting dropped off at a local shop by me called Capital Region Customs & they'll be doing the whole truck white. Not a big fan of the black bedliner job.- CConlon692

Well, I stumbled upon this site a little while ago when I bought my truck & it seems like a real good site so I've decided to join & post my "build thread." Little about myself. My name is Chris, I'm 20 & live up in upstate NY (sadly). I've been a big car guy since I got my license & decided...- CConlon692
