Well been doing some work here and there so fugired I'd make a Build thread.

Specs: 1996 Chevy Cheyenne 5.7 4l60e 289xxx on the clock and about 20k on rebuilt engine.

Well my user name obviously does not fit anymore, I had a 92 3/4 7.4 eclb. I traded my neighbor who had gotten a camper that fit in a long bed and asked if I wanted to trade straight accross, and at that time I was going through chemo treatments and wasn't working and with the mpg it was getting I didn't hesitate.

When I got the truck it had chrome trim in the body line crease and rocker panels, needless to say but that was the first thing to go

(can't find any pictures when I first got the truck) but this is when I got the tint done

Then removed the ugly sticker accross the side and the 4x4 and debadged

and with the truck being a northern truck it's whole life some paint came off as well and painted the frame

Then wheels and tires 265/70r17 maxxis bighorn on 17' ultra drifters

Plans in the near future:
Get my a/c hooked back up and going
get 4 wheel drive fixed
stainless steel brake lines
slotted or cross drilled rotors
performance pads
(Maybe)GMC grill shell with black billet grille and bow tie
Led tail lights

Later down the road:
Covnert interior to power
Rear disk brake swap
4l80e
5.3 or 6.0
fresh paint.

Thats it for now, let me know what you guys think
