Grandpa's 1995 C1500 Reborn

[bluex]

The springs shouldn't give you issues by themselves on the alignment. Be prepared to pay extra to have the knockouts removed after you lift it though. They will probably have to get them out to get it back in spec...

Sounds good! Can't wait to see pics!!! U get tires yet?

Christmas present from My parents, both grandma's, and 3 uncles and 2 aunts. I will ask "santa" for the exhaust haha

Sitting in my Grandma's driveway today, my dad told me how strongly he could smell the exhaust insided witht he doors and windows closed. I knew I could smell it, I just thought since it's old and stuff, it was to be expected. Anyways, what could this be? Exhaust leak?

Yup exhaust leak, what you described is to the letter how mine was. For me it ended up being 4 small holes in the intermediate pipe and 1 big one where a exhaust hanger rusted off where it was welded. Good luck exhaust work is a p.i.t.a haha

Ok. Thanks. I'm about to replace it anyways so I'll deal with it then.

Update (Pics tomarrow):
I installed a trailer harness and spent 4 hours washing it. Took the valence off and ordered some tow hooks. Those valences are expensive. $10 turns into $40 with shipping from rockauto.com.
Once again, changed my plans:
- 2" Coil Springs
- 2" Rear Blocks
- New Shocks all around with Red Boots
- 31x10.5r15 Treadwright Guard Dogs
- Jet Accu Speed Control Unit
- Flomaster 40 Series Muffler 2 1/4" Single I/O
- Tow Hooks
- Tow Hook Valence

Future Plans:
- Posi
- HIDs
- Hitch
- Multi Ball Mount w/ Tow Hook
- TBI Spacer
- JET Chip
- K&N Aircharger System
- LED Taillights

..... hopefully more to come

You damn 2WD lifters kidding haha had a 94 Sierra C1500 with 31s on it looked pretty good

 

[95C1500]

My 94 wasn't lifted either, but damn did it show off how inadequate a 4.3 TBI with an auto behind it can be
