Jared Roach Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Since I have 3 of these 454 ss kits I decided to build one as a mild street truck. Then I decided to take the interior and chrome bumpers/grille from the snap '96 dually and make this one a '96 regular cab short box. I cut the interior tub from the dually and spliced in the back wall from the '90 interior to make it fit the reg cab. Then I flipped the front spindles to lower the front end and I modified the mounting points with brass tubing to fit the Pegasus wheels. I'm going to leave all stock other then the wheels and the lowered suspension. I just want a nice clean street truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick W. Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Did you have to modify the front clip for the grill to set properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Roach Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks Rodney. Nick, nope it all fits together perfect. Only thing I modified to fit was the interior tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Roach Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Well here is a long over due update on this truck. I painted it shortly after the last post. Paint went bad so I pulled out a second kit and painted that one. That also went down hill so I got discouraged and put it away. Well now I decided to get it back out and open it all up. Hinges are finished and now it needs door jambs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Nice, i picked up 2 of these barely started for 5.00 for the pair. Im looking to do a nice lowered street truck out of one and a custom truck out of the other. I really like the interior swap you did. I would think about opening up the grill and adding a new grill out of small rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjracing Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Great project, I have one that I'll build sometime in the near future (I hope ) but is a long bed and I need a short bed to resemble a '96 C-1500 I used to drive some years ago (I miss my truck ), and I need to make or find a dash to...I'll keep an eye on this build!

Belugawrx Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That's nice... I like Got it sitting just right Are those Peg's 19" or 23"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think they are the Peg's 19''. same ones I used. Peguas also make a staggered 19/20 something? set as well. You can find them on ebay under "big and little" but they fit this truck well. I have them on some other c-1500s ive built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Roach Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks guys! They are Pegasus 23 T's. I have a set of 19's too but I thought they were too small for this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
