My 97 Project

[Sac12]

Probably a little early to start this, but I'm bored at work so might as well. Found this 97 after I already bought a clean S10 to bag. The OBS fullsize has always been my favorite, so I sold the S10 to a friend and bought this truck, pretty clean with V6 and 130K on the ticker.

Already pulled the AutoZone radio out and installed a new Alpine and found these 60/40 seats at Pull-A-Part for $50. They came out of an ext cab, test fit already revealed that modification will be needed to make fit.

Started ordering parts for it. I jumped on that last group buy MMW had and scored a set their jebus joint control arms. Got them powder coated charcoal grey and he is doing some personal engraving on the billet caps.(Will be shipping out this week) Also have the drop spindles, upper cups and shock relocators. Last week I ordered a set of Coy C-57's in 20x8.5 all around, still need to order tires for those.
So now I'm saving up for the parts to do the rear and thinking of the plan of action. I like the ease of the KP 6-link, but think it is a little overkill and not a big fan of seeing the rear bars showing through the wheel wells. So that leaves me Nfamus 3-link or Exstensive 2-link w/ panhard bar. I know not everyone is fan of the 2-link, but it works & gets the job done. I know friends and me can install either one of these, but still have to bring it to a shop to install the ride sensors for the E-level. So now my current shift of thinking is just to take all the parts to Nfamus and have them bag it with their rear kit and install the sensors. Enough talking, here is some motivation I got in my email on Monday!

gonna be a sik ass build check out draggin95's shop severaly altered he is in AR and in an nfmous dealer. He also does top notch work! Dont hurt to get a price from him anyways since your planning on traveling anyways. i like all the renderings but maybe the 3rd one the best.

For some reason this one "speaks" to me. I am a huge fan of single color trucks tho. I personally feel it lets the truck and build quality shine thru. Either way your plans are awesome and I am sure it will be sick!

Thanks. I seen where he said he was a dealer now and his build looks top notch. Will give him a call when it comes that time.

Good luck with yours. They are some cool people, been talking with them a little through email.

Thanks. Right now #1 is my favorite, I've always liked two-tone trucks.

#1 would look badass I would prob use a silver stripe to split the colors I think that would make a baig diff trust me. We shot the black and silver on mine yea it looked ok but so needed a break up color so red it was lol

 

[stroker52]

I say #1... #2 is close to what I'm doing but with green on top an a dark gray on bottom..

I'm actually thinking about a red stripe. Think it would look sick against that purple and pick up on the red calipers!

I'm a big fan of green. Just think it faded away in that rendering against the purple/black and that bright blue.
