My New FSC


Well as a 16 year old my dad gave me this truck a 1983 chevy c20 longbed which needs some work but is not in really bad condition.... my plans for this truck are to get a whole new paint job, a fully re done interior some new rims and tires it has a really good 5.7l 350 which only has 86000 miles on it i just had some true dual flowmaster 40's put on a about a month ago and it sounds mean i am also doing a drop on it this weekend a 2/4 drop. which should give that stance that i like

well tell me what u think and what you would do with the truck i am open to all suggestions

Re: My New FSC
My dad had like a 87 or something like that with the black and the bottom grey. If you want to go with stock paint go with that one and black rims, but go all black if anything else it would look sharp. Is this 2wd or 4? If 2 go much lower than a 2-4 with some 20-22's. This should be a good project since your young have fun and keep us updated!

Re: My New FSC
ya im a red guy that will look amazing. Do some cool stripes, ghost flames or something in black/white that would look nice. Oh and a cowl hood is a must! This will make you truck really nice.

Re: My New FSC
man all it really needs is interior stuff-the rest looks really good overall, just work on a little here and there. I'd roll it.

Re: My New FSC
get a parttime job at a gas station so you can get a discount to afford gas to get home after work
I don't think of my truck as being OLD ...I think of it as having been more places than a NEW one

Replacement interior parts are common as dirt for trucks like that. Great starter truck!
