Mine will pop also, but will not open up by it's self. when you push it, can you pull it open then right? If you can then that's all mine will do.

Thanks everyone, I have been taking my time with this thing and parts are just coiming my way. Now only if a set of 20" show up at my house for free then we may have something.:lol:

Heh. I blinked and now all it needs is wheels. Best budget truck I've ever seen. Subscribing. I wouldn't want to miss the wheel choice... ;)

Man, at least throw them on one side and take a picture...to get some "inspiration" for new wheels ;)

Damn Travis,$900. ? I guess all the sweet deals are in Tennessee.?..
I looked at a '95 the other day(in San Antonio)for $4K.It was a ragged pile that had collision damage that was trying to be hidden.Everyother one Ive seen for sale has been a 4x.

This one youve got looks clean and sharp w/the drop. I would go lower in the front,myself,jus to give it a positive rake. You can do it w/a staggered sidewall setup.
Carry on Sir.

Haven't been on here in months. Gotta say...like everybody else, "Man! (insert repetitive compliments here)" Haha. Can't wait to see the wheel choice either. Take your time because you have the makings of one sweet ride.

How cool would some big brakes and calipers look poking out from behind those 20's too?!? Just a thought. ;)

Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
 
i wonder if there adapters for corvette brakes , these might be more budget then the bear stuff
it kindah does away with the "budget daily driver" thing though

Kore 3.

Not sure if they make a truck adapter setup, but I plan on running C6 Z06 brakes on my Chevelle and for the stock rotor setup the price is pretty nice considering similar Wilwood and Baer prices. Once you start upgrading to better rotors the price climbs but it's still not too crazy. It wouldn't be a budget thing entirely but if you it's still a great way to have big brakes fairly inexpesively in comparison. There's still a possibility of catching some guy upgrading to the bigger n better stuff. If anybody can sniff out a deal like that it's Travis. Haha.

How did you find one of those for $900? I have been looking for one for a few years and they are either trashed out or someone wants $10k for them. Congrats on the find. Its looking good.

Well its gone..:whine: But I did trade straight up for this 97 bagged on 22". The paint is nice, but the inside needs some work.. I think I did ok on this one..;)

I will do some work on it and then sell it...

Whoa.... :jdp:

That was from left field, but awesome trade on the '97. You shouldn't have any issues selling that thing when you're ready.

Yes it was, I was just joking about it to someone and he found out that I said that and was all about it. He was starting a new job this week and needed something that he could drive everyday. He was trying to sell it for $6500 and that's what he had in the paint. So with new wheels and tires on air I could not pass it up...
