Front looks nice, glad to see you stuck with the W/T grille. I don't understand changing to the troublesome plastic headlamps that every one else runs. The W/T front end has a vintage look.

truck is a daily driver to and from work, she will never be a show truck but its a clean lovely looking truck now and new breath of life in her.

original miles just below 76 000 1994.

these old square body chevys are magical ,chevy still had the spirit of making things good back then..

another little update installed a nice addition hitch brake and rear light LED combo looks fantastic on truck.

Re: My Chevy 1500 W/T 94 V6
 
i had a issue with stop lights not engaging, and i lubed the piston going through firewall
waa la the brake lamps work flawless now.

these year of trucks its a known design issue. other thing to check is stop lamp switch, and of course your fuse.

so anyone else having brake lamp issue try this fix.

Glad you are still getting to do things on the truck. Thanks for the brake tip. I'll probably forget it before I need it though :rolleyes:

highly recommend applying decals with the wet method, soapy water , this allows you to move the decals around on painted surface , takes a few hours to dry, wipe clean gently
then you can apply seal it pen edge sealer to decals, this extends the life of your decals.
