1996 rcsb build thread

[whitesilvy]

Well I had always had a bug to own an obs so back in 2009 I bought this 90 chevy with a 350/auto pw wind/locks that I owned for a couple of months but the frame was bent due to po going into a ditch and the driver side tire hit something and also hit the fender and the truck wouldn't drive straight and when I bought the truck I thought it was the control arm that was bent(per the po, said took it to a shop and was the lca) go figure.

Then one day I saw this 96 for sale and traded the 90 for it plus some cash. I knew I would need to change things so it wouldn't look so 90's. It is a 2wd 5.7, auto, pw/windows locks etc with the Mark III conversion.

Those wheels were ugly as sin, so I bought new wheels for it, can't remember the brand but they were 18's and different tailights and removed the running boards

I didn't really felt those wheels were the right choice so couple of months passed by and I bought some 20's off fast95 and got some smoked tail lights

couple of months later I was broke due to job changes so I sold the 20's and put stock style wheels. Also we had a hail storm so at this point it had hail damage so the insurance comp gave me some money

Nice project cant wait to see the finished project. Make sure you pull the door handles out when you do paint cause they will chip if not. Oh cant go wrong with Coys :thumbsup:
