My 1995 K1500

[Chris.G.Jr.]

Well helping out my sister and brother in law a lot lately, wasn't expecting any sort of money coming my way, but they've given me some, So what do I do? Yes that's right order truck parts.

Ordered an under the seat downfiring sub box (can clearly distinguish how much quieter it is then a trunk box strapped to the seat) IMO its a nice little bump nothing to extreme anymore.

Also ordered some NNBS Silverado Door Badges and gm mark of excellence badges to put on the truck Also since i dont like the look of removing my license plate mount bracket on the bumper i ordered a silverado license plate has the same style letters as the nnbs badges black plate with silver letters (not protruding out)


Thinking about if i still have some money i may pull the trigger on 6k HIDs

pics when everything is here and put in/on

heres some recent pics

Painted Wiper arms, tow hooks, and license plate bolts
Its the littlest things that can make or break a truck, imo

So there's a layer of paint/years of armor all and protectant on the console that's been a pain getting off, Went to local car wash and used the pressure washer there and it was stripping the layer off great! Didn't get to do the whole thing. Spent like 13 dollars and only got so far, I'm ready to be done with all the paint stripping and ready to just install it........Have to get another 4x4 trim piece bc the one i have broke. Time consuming

The layer of paint/protectants rubs off with a bit of pressing but I'd rather not have blisters all over my fingers

Probably will smooth over the plate and the ac switch openings as well as the aux plug opening and figure out some sort of hinge for the cupholder

Top two pieces are broke, after i fully sand both sides back to plastic I may redo it so its one piece,

This side needs sanded back to plastic before I can even think about reepoxying them

Reuse the cd changer?

Nahhhh just gut the insides and use it as a storage cubby

Need to go back to the carwash and spend a little more time trying to get the layer of crap off, rather have all that off before epoxying the holes and whatnot.....Still unsure if I should epoxy the holes bc they wouldnt have the same grain as the rest of the console unless I lightly carved lines in it afterward to match?

Any ideas?

Long overdue update, Pics aren't in a specific order but heres what ive got,

Major update, truck has a new transmission, due to me losing 3rd and OD. I was down in the city to take our family dog to the vet and help a buddy with his brakes, dropped the dog off at my grandparents and got on the turnpike and pulled over to tweak my mirror bc it had folded in on me and get back in to merge back onto the turnpike and she wont shift out of 2nd, gets up there then she just acted as she was in neutral. Limped it about 8 miles at 30mph to my trusted auto mechanics shop, dropped it off on a thursday afternoon, got it back the next day! (Good relationship with the mechanic makes work get done, even though his lot was overfull, he got it done. (I Drive specifically 2 hours just to that shop)

Took it to a local car show this past weekend (Didn't win anything other then $20 as a door prize, no entry fee so it basically paid my gas)
Wanted it done before the show, stayed up til 2:15AM saturday morning to get it installed, thanks to the help of my sister
