1988 chevy resto project

[loudnlifted88]

bought the truck when i was 14 (now 16) been working on it since then it was totaled out from the insurance company so me i bought it from my brothers friend and started to fix it. there was no frame damages just the cab and body. I found a body at the local junk yard for 200. Last summer i moved the truck to my grandfathers shop because he had a junk yard where i found a motor and a cab for the truck still haven't finished it its hard working on it between school and having my grandfather live an hour away but heres how it sits rite now.

Not bad man. It's coming along pretty well considering the circumstances. It's always a really cool feeling to pull into your school parking lot with something that you've worked your butt off on. What are you planning on doing for the paint?

[loudnlifted88]

im gonna go with the gm maroon thats on the cab and im gonna get the mossy oak camo sticker wrap and go from the body line dow with camo and lookin to get camo z71 stickers for it

The wrap isn't on it yet, but you did what you said you were gonna do man. That's the kind of confidence to have; don't forget that. You said you were going with GM maroon, the whole truck is GM maroon. You said you wanted camo Z71 stickers, it has camo Z71 stickers. You've done a lot of work, and it's come a long way man. Give that some thought lol

yeah i still wanna do the camo wrap but havnt had the money i had got it back on the road in october and ran into more problems and i blew the motor in my plow truck so i took all the money i had saved up and picked up a 98 gmc 4x4 ecsb 305.

the stepside needs a clutch throw out bearing alternator and head gasket

my 94 ext cab needs a motor and a bunch of front end parts so thats the new mud truck

and my new truck

ok did you loose 2 studs or break em?

Also just a heads up but did you ever consider some of the aftermarket chrome headlights and parklights, corners? Maybe some smoked ones or something? If not maybe polish the stockers since they are yellowed badly like mine were?

IMO the chevy grille.

[loudnlifted88]

the rockers wore on the studs and messed up the studs so i had to replace them and now the push rods keep turning the rockers. but thats why they are out. the lights that are in the grille will probably because i cant afford to buy new ones although i would like to.

[benoit454]

you can polish them up a lil bit with toothpaste or maybe wetsand then toothpaste em, if not they make kits that are cheap.

[loudnlifted88]

ill have to work on them sometime but first i gotta finish the truck first

I know exactly what you mean; washing the windshield is a two-handed job.

I'm definitely digging the homemade hood -- nice work!
