'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
