95obschevy Build Thread

[95obschevy]

Decided it was finally time to make a build thread so here she is..

First off id like to say thank you to all of the guys that have contributed ideas and info towards the build, it would be no where without you guys . Feel free to leave comments, questions, and suggestions. I'd also like to say this build is a work in progress and many of your guys' builds put it to shame. Im a college student so I have to try to make it ballin on a budget. With that out of the way lets dive into it.


My truck is a '95 silverado z71 with a 5.7 tbi.
Heres what it looked like the day i bought it in August of 2011. It had 124,500 and came to wisconsin from cali where it spent the first 14 yrs of its life as a grandpa cruiser:

[achevyman1956]

[95obschevy]

I think im just going to try and sell the headlights and get tyc's to same myself a few headaches. Ive got some led interior lighting coming from MOBS. Im thinking next mods are going to be nfab cab length steps, debating on oe style flares??? opinions on that are needed. Then a different hitch that will snug up to the bumper is in order. As always im looking for suggestions, comments, and suggestions! thanks for lookin fellas. oh and i need to quit being a lazyass and finish peeling the plastidip off my bumper haha
