The Beast (95 gmc Z71) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is my Beast. A 1995 GMC Sierra SLT Z71, extended cab, long bed with a 5.7 and 700R4 tranny. This is my daily driver and doubles as a hunting, work and farm truck. I have done many things to it in the 2 years I have owned it and have many ideas for it to come. In the plans are a lift, 285-75-16 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires, brush guard, winch and maybe some custom mods and fabrication. We will see. But first I have to finish my other project..... Project Ol' Blue.

****pics wont upload so I will get em on here when i get the problem figured out

Here's a few pics........

bulldog2513 · 06-27-2012, 06:50 AM

Things I have done to it...... front seats, console, glove box, power window switches, door handles and lock mechanisms from a 98 Tahoe. Swapped the stock alloy wheels for newer GMC chrome wheels with all terrain tires. Front tag holder, bed rails, front LED style turn signals, diamond plate tailgate protector and diamond plate tool box. Front work lights from a Linde forklift, rear 4" work lights to aid in loading/unloading of 4 wheeler at night. Installed Rancho 3" step bars. Mechanically.... just a tune up, power steering pump and front brakes.

these pics show the body work i will have to do on it. the door and above the door at the windshield/roof line will get mud and it will get a new grill. other than that i think i will leave the dings bc this thing will be taken through the woods and will get more.
