Where'd you get your mud flaps? They look pretty good.

heavy chevy
I bought them from a wheel and tire dealer, made in the U.S.
I've had them for 12 years and they still look good, well built and heavy duty.

My brother and I went down to the river to fill the deer feeders today.

Hello everyone - new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself and my project. I've spent a lot of time on the 67-72 forum as me and my dad have restored a 64 C10, a 68 C10, and are now working on a 69 C10 but the 88-98 section on that forum doesn't seem to be very popular.
I found this truck on FB Marketplace and it seemed to be a good truck and a good deal so we went and looked at it and test drove it and took it home. It's a 93 C1500 with the 4.3 V6 and manual trans. It's an old Forest Service truck and it is in amazing shape. The more I look at it, the more happy I am that we snagged it. The paint appears to be factory paint and you can actually still see a hologram of the Forest Service sticker on the doors. The previous owner buffed it the best he could and it looks pretty good. Looking at the rockers, door bottoms, and fenders, I can't find any rust and very little damage. The previous owner did a 4/6 drop, 95+ grille, and put on the iroc wheels.
As far as our plans for the truck, we want to make it a nice daily driver. Big picture, that means a powertrain swap, paint job, and interior refresh. I really want to do a Gen 5 LT swap and so far I haven't found much info at all on this swap. I found Texas Speed's series on YouTube, but have not been able to find any other builds yet so if anyone knows of a build thread or any other YouTube series, please let me know. I will start a build thread once we get into it, but it's going to be awhile as we need to restore the 69 C10 first. But in the meantime I'll be researching and gathering parts.

Never posted before, pardon the errors.
98 k2500hd extended cab long bed 395cid V8 Detroit diesel. Original 4l80e and engine that the previous owner never so much change the oil in for 190,000 miles. When I bought it the only major thing I had to replace was the injection pump and I've got over 240,000 on it now.

Awesome truck and story! I built my share of C10s as well and spent my time on 67-72 as (808_67C10). Oddly enough, I work for the forest service too so, I love the color of your truck. Too bad the Forest Service Logos still arent on there. I have a stack of them in my office. HAHA The truck looks cool though.
