1993 GMC "Silverado" 4x4

[86ccord]

I had a build thread on the off road build section, but a realized no one can comment/ reply on it so i decided to make a new one here. Mod's feel free to delete that other thread.

Ok I call this thing the GMC "Silverado" because, its a GMC truck with a Chevy Silverado front end. lol

Welp, im finally finding time to work on this thing, so i figured what better time to start a build thread! Here we go!

Also this weekend, i bought some new wheels for the truck. 16x8.5 MB TKO The guy at discount tire gave me a killer deal i couldnt resist.

Also, i was crusing around the junk yard a few weeks ago and picked up a Compass/Temperature mirror its all wired up and working! (I dont have pictures yet but i will grab some this weekend)

I blew a seal out of the rear end a few weeks ago going through a river so i had that serviced and fixed as well.


stay tuned more updates coming!
