My '95 Z71

[5spd Z71]

Ive got some pictures posted in some threads and whatnot, but I figured I would make a thread here for all future mods and to basically show the history of the truck. Im unsure on the dates, so not gonna put any. (Be prepared for a long post)

This is when I first got the truck. Which is after replacing ALOT of mechanical stuff.

Then I took the cap off, and since when I bought the truck, the guy I bought it from gave me the bedliner to it, I decided to put that in.

New front fenders were next on the list. Also started taking off the pinstrips

Had to put a new exhaust on the truck since when I was at a jobsite, the exhaust got hung up and broke off. Was certainly a loud ride home. This exhaust was basically cobbed together so it didnt fit the truck very well. Also, some soft 8's and Michelin ATX2 were added. No center caps yet because those where getting powder coated black. I didnt like how they where chrome.

Heres the truck after the highway trip home from college. Thanks to all the salt can barely tell the truck is red..

Also, while at school, someone was nice eough to hit the passengers side door, putting a nice dent in it. It actually popped the bottom of the door skin so there was a nice hole in the bottom of the door.

After college, decided to fix up the truck. Powdercoated bumpers black, painted grille black, new lower door skins, new cab corners, new radiator support mounts, new cowl hood.

Later on got new lights. Old ones so hazed over really bad and light output was horrible.

Then most recently, repaired the frame with a new back section.

Replaced intake gaskets, they were leaking pretty bad.

While I was working on it, I replaced the headers and y-pipe. The flanges broke off and the cat was getting clogged/broken, so I figured it was a good time to change it. Although the stock y-pipe seems awfully small for this motor.

And a small stereo I put in. Cheap Pioneer deck (works great though, just not alot of options) and a 6.5" component set, with amp.

truck looks good, whats your future plans?

 

[5spd Z71]

Id like to get different rims and tires on it, along with like a 4" lift. When its time for a new motor, Ill probably get some upgrades. But Im not really sure yet.

Also today, decided to finally clean in th interior.

good looking truck! that cd player has plenty of options, i had one in my car and loved it. you just gotta know how to get to them. google is your friend on that, i cant remember how.

Get some degreaser scrub it on there then pressure wash it. I work at a Carwash and it always works for me.
Nice truck man. I love that color

 

[5spd Z71]

^^^Im gonna have to try that! Hopefully I can get them to turn out fairly clean, cause they are kind of an eye sore bring dirty like that.

The cd player isnt bad, but compared to the Pioneer 7800 ( about 5yrs old ) in my car, this one is no so user friendly, and no where near as nice.
