97 ECSB Simple Daily Driver

[70stroker]

I am new here to this site, I have been lurking for a while and posted on alot of other forums. The thing i didnt like about FSC or GMFS is its getting harder to find OBS stuff, so i set out on a search to find a 88-98 website.

I have owned this truck for about 3 years, The first 2 years i left it completely stock. Last summer I got the itch to start tinkering with it.

So far:
3/4 Drop
Ss wheels
HID's
Clear front lights
Tinted tails
Bilet grill
JVC head unit
2 12 inch JL's
Debadged

Just ordered today:
Helper Bags for the rear
Helper bag controller
Tonneau cover

So far I am very happy with this truck. MY cousins dad bought it brand new, Its a 97 truck and by 99 when my cousin bought it from his dad it already have 180k Miles on it. When i bought it from my cousin 3 years ago it have 240k and now its at 260k.

None of us ever had any major problems with it. Its the original trans and motor. I did put head gaskets and a water pump on about 2 years ago.

This truck isnt as "wild" as alot of the trucks on these forums, but i wanted a clean daily driver, Let me hear any and all opinions.

Thanks guys

And here is with the SS wheels. I personally think the wheels completly changed the looks of the truck for the better.

i think its just too big of a emblem, needs a smaller one, that it would look nice.

Nice truck I agree with Josh. The GMC is too big. Look for something off an older GMC like the Sierra i have on my grille its from a 72
