Nice man! I saw you posted it on s10 forum. What's the plans?

I've been busy with work and school. Not much of a model update but I'm finally getting my cab corners done on my 1:1. Looks great so far too. Also going to have the drivers side bed flare grinder down and fixed because it's bubbled. Can't wait to get it back!

Cab corners:



The junk that was inside the drivers side:


New corners:




Bottom lip of the tailgate getting done:





And yes I know there will be a tape line, but I plan on getting the truck repainted completely done the road anyways.

Corners look sweet,Brother!

Plans for this year is just ride em both...since she found my stash of cash and confiscated it ,but I'd SURE love an LS series swap next year,a bit lower out back,clean it up and respray the whole thing

Well I got some news today about my truck, it has had body work done to it before! My dad bought it second hand in '02, and between '99 and '02 the whole left bedside had been repainted. On the fender flare on the left bedside had bondo from before I got it. It was done right, but I had to get some rust fixed on it anyways. The guy doing the body work was sanding it down and came across it. It wasn't filled with bondo, just a small area that was dinged and fixed. Well I guess I can't claim it's never been damaged. I always wondered why there was a very little color difference between the cab and the bed if it was in direct sunlight. But all is good and hopefully I'll have it back soon.

the green is the new stuff, and the white is sealer they used on it before:




left corner almost done:


So yea I'm quite surprised, but it all adds up now if I really think about it.

I guess I'll show off my old ZR2....I say old because I sold it not too long ago.

It started life as a run-of-the mill '99 ZR2, aside from a few mods and bolt-ons it stayed relatively stock for a few years. Then around 140k the intake gasket went and flooded my engine with coolant. So like anyone who didn't want to spend $6500 for a replacement 4.3 crate engine....I built up a V8.

~98 model L31 5.7 "Vortec" engine, Scat forged bottom end, Mahle flat-top pistons, Comp Xtreme 4x4 cam. It came in around 388cui with ~10.5:1 compression. It made over 500lb-ft of torque from 1000-3500 RPM. It was my daily driver for about 8-months, it drove just like stock with the added benefit of being able to out-tow every full size truck in town.

Well I didn't get off that easy on the price even though a friend ownes the dealership. More that $4000 but less than $8000 is all I'll say.

Not on me, but I'll get you one tommorow.

Ya know fishing line and alcohol to remove all the others is cheaper right? Just kidding. Good looking almost 100% original truck....and I only say almost just because the bug guard, vent shades, and the bed cover aren't factory. Great Find!

you just got your trucks history report in your hand!(not saying its complete but majority of it is)

[Nick Winter]

got a car fax from my buddy the dealer the day I told him that the truck would find it's way home with me, I'm the third owner, only one fender bender 12/14/01 and it was only a cracked front bumper, which was replaced at Ontario Motor sales. The first two owners were father and son.
