Re: My Chevy 1500 W/T 94 V6

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.

Re: My Chevy 1500 W/T 94 V6

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..
