new old schooler here

[PWC Repair]

I've just found this forum as I've recently aquired a GMT400 series truck. I've been hem-hawing around for a couple years now about a dually for pulling the S10 show truck. Seems like the 'OBS' truck prices are going up and 2wd duallys around me are beat junk. My wife recently found a good one on Marketplace so here I am. It's a '94 extended cab 2wd Silverado with a 454. Loaded out, no rust, buckets with a console, posi rear, even a power drivers seat. It has 184000 miles and I've only started it once for about 15 seconds (fuel pump is out) but oil pressure was good, no funny noises, no smoke. I've got a laundry list of maintenance to go through before putting it on the road......then the modifyling will begin. I'll make a build thread and update it as I go.

Welcome to the forum from Houston, Texas!
I have recently acquired an 8 lugger myself, '97 C3500 crew cab long bed, to do truck things and haul what my Burb can't (or I don't want to put in the back of it). These are good trucks, and getting harder to find nice examples of.

Nice find. That's a heck of a front bumper! Lol

After I get it road worthy and put a few miles on I'm going to switch out the 4:56 gears to some 3:73 while adding rear disc at the same time. Then a good static drop, 4/6 or something. Obviously I'll need a huge old school sound system. And later some custom paint with 90's flair.

Man it sure is. What you can't really see well is the extra steel they added to the bottom to look like the oem airdam. Planning on trading it to an offroad guy for a good straight stocker with airdam.


Here's an interior shot.
