I'm Awesome
Picked up this 96 stepside this past Wednesday. She's got 254k miles on the old 4.3 4l60e.
A little back story on the truck.
My mom bought it back around 2004/2005 with low miles and clean paint. She drove it and loved it until around 2010 when she sold it to my grandmother. It stayed with her in the backwoods of Louisiana where it didn't stay clean for long until a few months ago when my brother bought it from her. He rarely drove it and recently moved out of town for a while and offered it to me for a very reasonable price that I couldn't pass. This is the truck that started my love for gmt400s.
Haven't done much to her besides make all of the lights work again, swap in a new radio and door speakers, swap in some stock tail lights, replace a blown wheel cylinder, and give her a quick detail. Already has drop shackles in the rear and not sure about the front yet.
Plans as of now.
4/6 drop
Bucket seat swap
LS1 (already have engine)
4l80e
Repaint (Still unsure on color)
All new interior
18x8 and 18x10 wheels
More to be added later.
On to the pics.
When I first got her
Got frozen drivers door open
Lost all brakes. Trailered to friends shop
Not how I envisioned her first gas station pic
Getting ready for surgery.
Stock tails swapped in.
After quick detail before the rain hit.
