Grandpa's 1995 C1500 Reborn

[95C1500]

I was told it would be a good idea to make a build thread and post my questions here so here it is.
When my grandpa died in February 2012, I inherited (he wanted me to have it) his truck. It has only 71,*** miles on it with the 5.7L 350 V8 and 3.42 gears. It is a 2WD and although I like the lowered look, it just isn't my style. So I plan on lifting it a little, throwing on some wheels/tires, and making it sound better. It will be VERY slow due to the fact I'm in highschool with no job with a couple $hundred saved. If you have any questions or comments please PM me. Thanks.

Ok, I finally got something done today: I restored the head/park lights to their former glory. I used Fast Brite Automotive Headlight Restorer Kit from Walmart for $9.95. For only $10 this product works great. I don't know if you can see the difference in the pictures though lol!

Nice project, and I think it's awesome that you are keeping your grandpa's truck, I am sure it would make him proud!

Yeah I started one in street build threads and then I was told I should start one here and ask questions here so I basically copied it.

sorry to hear about your grandpa... take good care of that truck, and it will take care of you.

I have a 76 F100 that belonged to my dad. My best friend helped me with a few tasks on it... and now he has left this world too.. it's been sitting in the garage for 6 yrs now. Maybe some day i'll revive her and get her back out on the road.


anyway.. enough about me.. that's a nice truck!!!
