Lets see them 8 lugs!! 2500-3500 Photo thread!

[HotWheelsBurban]

I can only wish mine looked that good that close. It’s a 30/30. Good from 30 feet or 30mph, lol. Beautifully kept up, survivor looking time capsule.

I got it in July, just polished the bumpers and chrome yesterday and today. It's a '97, but very early production, was a gentleman rancher's truck with less than 120K on it. L31 Vortec 5.7 like my Burb which is another thing I wanted ( I don't tow enough to need a big block or diesel). It's had a few issues, but basically a good truck. The bad paint on hood and roof and a little body damage from fences and ravines is the worst of it. Interior is virtually new except for the sun visors.
I have sort of a build/progress thread on my trucks,"Rawhide and The Burb".

Nothing worth showing much…

Love it. Black and red is a great combo.

It’s not staying that color though . Since it all has to be sanded back to good paint/ base (originally white w/t, then all red, then black added over top of red but not jam’d) I’ve been thinking of a more personal color combo

quicky color sketches on a drawing I borrowed from a drop it wear T-shirt.

Either all dark blueish violet…

or an aqua/turquoise over grey body.





apologies for hijacking’s the 8 lug thread btw, I found it whilst looking for a new menber, new purchase / introduction type thread/ forum

Hey 90s retro is really becoming a thing lately! There have been several duallies on here with period paint/accessories, @Dropped88 has one as well. Sometimes people will be on here real frequently for a few months and then kinda drop off.

Welcome. What's the plans?

I already put seven new tires on it.
Next is repair the leaky rear brakes, weeping radiator, wandering front suspension, and tattered interior.
Change out the janky fifth wheel for a decent gooseneck hitch.
And use it to tow my racecars and other projects.
