Bring dads truck from 1995 to 2010 Project
This is a special truck to my dad 95 silverado he special ordered in 1994. Took 4 months to get here and its a s 95 silverado with the 350 to a 5 speed with 3.73 gears. Very rare truck. Well im making this into a Father/Son project plus since I sell djm/belltech stuff perfect time to make it handle great. I've been doing these trucks since 95 so I know the in and outs on them and making them a great handling truck.
Anyways hes been using this truck for the past 15 years and has headers/intake/full exhaust etc and he got into a accident. Perfect time for my father and I to do a project together and get it up to date for him. He hit a lifted ford ranger so completely missed his front bumper/frame but took out what you see in the pics. So the frame is cherry. The outside of the truck will have a new front clip on it but doors and bed etc are still stock so we will wet sand and buff it and try to get it the best we can. Im sure down the road ill end up repainting from front doors back anyway. The body is very str8. few minor dings and scratches but its allways garaged he never leaves it outside overnight. I wanted a project to be simple and clean. no 4/6 drop since he uses it for work just something minor with a nice tire to fill up the wells so here we go. Mods will be EXTERIOR Color matched door handles color matched tailgate handle color matched mirriors front bumper no hole painted to match color matched rear bumper painted grill to match 2.5 inch cowl hood All clear headlights HID 5000K kit all bulbs will be chrome but look amber when light up. chrome chevy bowtie painted all light bulb housings in silver to look cleaner when put into the euro headlights ALL TRIM REMOVED. Entire frame of truck was cleaned and painted Flat black. Fenderwells/springs and all suspension. Exhaust will have to be changed painted muffler black but pipes behind it are rotted out so doing turn downs by the rear spare tire. Suspension DJM Front Spinldes Rear Hotchkis 4 inch drop leafs DJM Rear Lifting Shackle Front Belltech Swaybar 1 3/8" Rear Belltech Swaybar 1" Rear Edelbrock Shocks (29 bucks I have a hookup) Wheels/tires Boss Motorsports 338 in Gray 20x8.5 front/20x10 rear 275 45 20 front 295 45 20 rear Engine Edelbrock Headers with y pipe High flow cat Flowmaster muffler and will be cutting rotted pipes out (thats why i didnt paint em black) and doing turndowns after the axle Ill keep you updated.
