Very Nice! How did you make the bomb sub enclosure? And what color is that?

Very cool!!
Kinda curious to how you made the flames in the casting on the rear end..? |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
The airbrushed headliner is sick, and the bulllet holes in tailgate go with the theme.

Thanks...

The color is my own mix, I used Endura single stage paint with flattening agent. I was hopeing for it to turn out a bit more flat, but it is super easy to maintain, and I drive on gravel roads daily and it holds up VERY well. Very happy with it all in all. And cheap to do as well. The color is very strange when it comes to light though, it changes with the light ALOT. And it is very particular with painting conditions as well. Temperature, drying time, how it is applied etc, all chanes it in one way or another as far as flattening goes. The best way is lots of light coates. The heavier it is applied the more shine it will have. PITA if you are painting some parts at home and the main truck assembled in a booth like I did. Made for a challenging project to say the least.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Devillusion, that truck is sick!!! Did it start life as a 1500? Is that a 350 in there?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
In 2002 I bought it with 110,000km on it and was a bone stock K1500 with a 60/40 and cloth interior.... and had never hauled a single thing. An elderly farmer wife used it to go to town and get groceries, etc. Just small stuff. Wasn't even a scratch in the box...lol.
It actually has a stock (internals) 305 in it....seriously. All that has been done is a Wester's Garage tune, Borla cat back exhaust, flex a lite dual fans, Volant cool air intake, and a vararam intake plenum insert. Other than that...stock. When I was running the 37's it would smoulder them with a locker. With the 40's it's a bit tougher but still holds it's own and I get 420km per tank hwy/city driving, and I usually don't drive very nice. It definetly needs an upgrade at some point and will more than likely be getting a cummins swap along with my 89 crew cab. Actually looking for a donor crew cab to swap everything over and make a crew short in my 98 as well. The search is on but haven't found anything worth while yet. I can't leave well enough alone....hahahaaha. ...here is the link to my cardomain and 8 lug write up. Don't want to take over this thread to badly, not that I don't like talking about it...lol. Just don't want to whore it up in here to badly... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/330610...mc-c-k-pick-up http://www.8-lug.com/features/chevy/...rra/index.html |

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Ya, the tailgate we used a .40 cal handgun. You'd be surprised how much flack I get when people at shows go "you seriously didn't put bullet hole stickers on..." or "those fake bullet holes are pretty cheezy" Till I tell them that they are real, then the look on their face goes sorta blank and they then think I am nuts...lol. Either that or I have people "fingering" my truck...lol. Kind of funny watching people go up with their fingers and putting their fingers in the holes....then laughing.
BaHAHAHAHAHAHA More Pix |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
There is a crap load of pics on the domain site link above, I don't think everyone in this thread wants me to go on and on about one truck. There are 10 pages of the build and everything I have ever done to it on there. And I think it's a bit late for a build thread over here...lol.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
1996 Tahoe, 4x4, 5.7L, 4L60E, 388,000km on original drivetrain (I kid you not, even the transmission!!!), goodmark cowl induction hood, paint to match grill and bumpers, rack delete, magnaflow cat back stainless exhaust, 08' 20" Tahoe wheels/rubber, Pioneer deck, kicker components with factory amp hookup, JL250/1 and Pioneer 10" sub, lowered 1" in front to lever her out, and tinted windows.
....my "cheap hoe" ;) Might be selling her soon, once "crew'd attitude" is complete and running. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4006_large.jpg http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4004_large.jpg http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4009_large.jpg |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
That's a good looking Tahoe. I like the new Tahoe 20s on there. The wheels, painted grille and removed luggage rack really set it off.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I agree with everything he ^ said. The newer GM 20s seem to look good on anything.

I see those are sway aways up front, any particular reason you didnt go with Coilovers and eliminate the leaf spring all-together ?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Never say never..........that is the next stage for her once things get all swapped over to a crew cab. It will be getting linked and bagged or coil overs.
The reason it wasn't done a couple years ago when I first did the SAS was due to cost. I had already blown the budget out of the water severly and links were just not an option at that time for the extra 2-3 grand plus time. Once my 89 crew/short project is well underway and driveable this one will be getting the treatment again and will probably have to go down to a 36 or 38 inch tire as well. Local transportation laws are getting to strict on the lift laws and I am around 3-4" to high as of right now to pass local safety inspections. I could also add the "why didn't I" for the cummins swap, crew cab swap/build, fiberglass interior, and the list could go on and on. |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
my "free"style project is my new baby its a 89 chevy with 3:43 gears ill check on that not 100percent sure. the previous owner lowered int front and rear 4 inches. I put a brand new 350 crate bored it 50 over ran shorty headers on and true dual purple horney exhaust. the planfor this truck is to literally rebuild it from spare parts, yes engine included. I cheated and bought a gauge cluster for it for 570 bucks. its all digital and should be really cool. so the total cost for this truckis a wopping 570 and 25 cents. (i was an ass and traded the dude a quarter for the truck he said it was free so i donated a quarter.) the tranny is a th350 that was pulled from a freinds totalled 93. things to come lift kit, hid lights and AR 5 star rims with mudgraapplers. pics will be posted asap i'm at work for 3weeks and dont have them on the computer. beautiful trucks everyone especially the 96 burb with the lift.
