Tailgate trim removal

Its just adhesive holding it on. I used a heat gun and a plastic putty knife and slowly peeled it off. The adhesive can be difficult to remove. Save yourself a lot of time and effort by picking up a adhesive removal wheel. The trim itself will more than likely not be salvageable, but like...

97' SCSB 2WD resto-mod

Its been a while, but I have a few updates on the "Old Blue" as I'm calling it now. Starting with finishing up a few projects I had ready to go: First the mirror, I wired everything up following instructions I found here on the forum. I ran most of the wiring through existing looms in the...

97' SCSB 2WD resto-mod

your truck looks awesome. Its just about exactly what I'm going for. How lowered is that, and what is the wheel/tire combo? It looks like 20's but hard to say for sure.

97' SCSB 2WD resto-mod

Here's a little update. I gave the high mount cab light / 3rd brake light some love. I used headlight restoration kit on it. It didn't turn out perfect, but still much better than stock. Unfortunately the board behind it doesn't work even after cleaning it up, so I'll be on the lookout for...

97' SCSB 2WD resto-mod

I had a chirp when driving, so a little love on the accessories cleaned it up. I'm not sure if it was the belt or pulleys that were causing the chirp, but parts are so cheap, I just replaced it all. Here is at it sits now. I have driven it maybe 20 miles since purchasing it. I'm sure one of...

97' SCSB 2WD resto-mod

I've gained a ton of knowledge on this forum, so I figured I'd start a build thread. I picked up this RUST FREE 1997 SCSB around April of 2017. I've always had a soft spot for the single cab trucks and wanted to get my feet wet with on a semi-restoration project that wouldn't break the bank. I...
