Looks killer! Nice score on the wheels.

19723DR · 01-02-2011, 10:46 PM

Wow! Those new wheels and tires make a world of difference.

70stroker · 01-08-2011, 10:49 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Today i mounted my helper bags, compressor and gauges. Heres a few pics, I still need to take it back out and repaint the plate.

70stroker · 01-13-2011, 01:16 PM

Well guys i have been looking for a 4x4 and a guy offered be a pretty nice truck.

Im not sold on the older dashes, actually i really dont like them.

But it looks clean, interior is damn good shape.

has a 170k

mine has 260

what do ya think

70stroker · 01-20-2011, 12:18 AM

Well I decided to keep it, the 93 just didnt have anything that popped at me and said I had to have that truck.

After i decided to hold onto it for atleast a little longer (still looking for a ext. cab truck like this) I went ahead and painted some interior pieces.

I also got a heck of a deal on some 5% window tint. I picked it up after it was dark ill take some daytime pics tomorrow.

70stroker · 01-20-2011, 03:57 PM

heres some pics during the day

EWWW snow lol jk, Looks SWEET!! I like the 4x4, btw the tint looks good.

70stroker · 01-23-2011, 02:54 AM

thanks for the compliments.

Guys i got a problem, Im itching to do something to the truck, just dont know what to do. Anyone got any ideas?

Im down for pretty much anything, except the drivetrain after it runs good and never lets me down, and suspension after i dont really want to go any lower as of now.

any and all suggestions will be appreciated. thanks

Door Sill Plates

70stroker · 01-25-2011, 03:05 PM

I do like the door sill plates, the wipers maybe. I just dont think they would make a huge difference, i would have to see them on a truck to be able to say if they were worth the price. Deff looking at the sill plates.

I will probably go with a smooth bumper on the front and the back. I dont want a roll pan as i still use this truck and i like the step up feature of the bumper. i dont think smooth bumpers front and rear would look to bad tho.

Where do most people buy there smooth bumpers.

1LOMARO · 01-27-2011, 07:23 PM

Fender Bender International and AIM Industries are 2 that I can think of...

70stroker · 02-07-2011, 12:57 AM

Well guys I sold it, well traded it, I got a job offer up in michigan this coming may and Just couldnt see relying on a 2 wheel drive truck.

I traded straight up plus some cash on his end for a 96 tahoe. Pretty much stock, not for long tho.

Vega_67C10 · 02-07-2011, 11:59 PM

Nice

. I'm thinking chrome step bars to accent the the silver/chrome on the lower half. Make that sucker rumble with some Flowmaster 40 series and tint those front windows 35%. Done and done.

SaskC10 · 02-09-2011, 11:43 PM

Sorry to backtrack, but was that a 3/4 drop on the white truck with a coil cut from the aftermarket springs??

70stroker · 02-10-2011, 12:41 AM

it was 3/4

DJM shackles and hangers in rear
stock coil spring with a coil cut.

SaskC10 · 02-11-2011, 12:26 AM

Not sure i follow. Is the 3 in the front achieved with the cut coil or the cut coils and some spindles?

That was a great looking truck BTW, sorry to see it gone.

70stroker · 02-11-2011, 01:46 PM

ya I did what I needed to do to accomodate the family space needs, I'll miss the truck but the yukon will be even better.

If you cut 1 complete coil off the Stock coil it will lower it 2.5 to 3 inches thats what i did and it lowered it 2.13/16.

So mine is 4 in drop in the rear and a cut coil up front
