'95 GMC aka Project Dohickey
 

Sappenin' folks. Names Brad, I'm 26, and located down here in SETX (Beaumont area). I picked up this truck for $500 without even looking at it. It was owned by an older gentleman and had been sitting the past 5 months.

The Rundown:
1995 GMC Regular Cab SWB
4.3L with 5speed on the floor

Turns out the truck is in GRRRREAT shape. On a scale from 1-10 I'd give it a 8. It did not run and had a cracked oil pan. So slapped a starter and a new oil pan on it. Now for under $750 I have a running truck. I'll be getting pictures up here soon (mid-late next week).

I daily drive a 2010 Wrangler and am just tired of forking out money for a car payment every month. So once I feel this truck is clean enough to present itself to the public I'll DD this and sell the Jeep.

Overall Plan of Attack:
Major Tune-Up
5/7 Drop (Spindles, Springs, C-Notch, Flip Kit, Shackles, and Shocks)
Mopar Steelies on 255/50/17's
Nostalgic/Rodder Interior overhaul (Mooneyes/SoCal Speed Shop mainly)
(down the road) Motor Swap

So sit back, grab you a cold one of choice, and enjoy this journey :uhmk:

Here's a small tease of the 17" Mopar Steelies. Originally purchased for my Jeep (reason there is five of them), but will be better used on this. If you knew the price of these you'd buy them too :D

Yeah I couldn't pass up the deal. Thanks for the compliments. Hopefully next week some good progress will be made on the tune-up

I'm always in for a shortwide build. Love that color, "quasar blue," I think?
