Builds 1995 full resto build (9 Viewers)

[effjay80]

I feel kinda ripped off. My 94 wasn't this shiny and nice when I drove it off the lot brand new.

I'm a bit surprised as well. Kinda odd to cut off a piece of something that pretty. But, not my truck.

Same here, I keep telling my wife, friends and family "I'm NOT doing a restoration, it's lifted, aftermarket seats, wheels are the wrong color, 315's....etc, etc....". I would call this a resto-mod (mine and this one, which is several degrees beyond my hopes and dreams), but this is amazing and beautiful regardless of my semantics.

Pretty good video showing before and after. The unrestored chassis is a 97, west coast. The restored obviously a 95 which was a little worse as far as rust before the resto.



Fully restored and right before we dropped the body down on it.

What an awesome project. I hope to be able to DIY something like this someday - obviously not near to the standard you are doing. But certainly want to do cab-off restoration of something. Many our 100 series in another 15 years as a project with my sons.

Torn apart, cleaned, greased and reassembled.

Rear hatch polished, glass going in it on Monday.

Needed to polish around the windshield frame since a windshield is also going in it on Monday. Just went ahead and polished the whole roof.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Rear hatch glass and new windshield went in today.

Started installing the HVAC system.

I think I'm mostly jealous of the rear defroster lines more than anything from that last post right now. lol
