I kinda like it. I never really like new fullsize chevys.

the new 08+ models suck......they look like a box with rounded edges

Stabilizer on a IFS?

yes.........when the truck hits a bump i go everwhere or i have to go around something in the road i have to correct myself like 5 times. i think the big tires throw it off a little

Yep. My ex girlfriends father had one like yours, but long bed and not lifted. I kept telling him to lift it and throw some bigger meats under it, but he was driving from Sidney Center to Elmira 6 days a week.. wouldn't have been very economical for him at the time.. it's about 100 miles one way.

I only drove that truck once, and I babied the hell out of it. Didn't want to wreck it on him, he'd of killed me. But holy hell did it feel like it had some power to it.

bet it has a v8. mine was decent to start with but when i got the bigger tires on it........damn. it slowed down

Pretty nice truck Mods definetly made it better!

 

[84projectFORD]

i see 4.56 gears in your future lol. That would really make up for teh bigger tires now.

 

[wrecking-crew]

i bet they would but i got a bigger problem now.....my front door speakers wont work

FIXED: stock speaker magnets are dead......no magnetism

well, they work but overheat and wont make any sound

 

[wrecking-crew]

been a while since i updated, so here it goes

well, im getting new speakers soon(vr3 speakers from wally world) they sound decent in
my ranger for $20 speakers. im also getting a hu(the one i want).
i got my steering stabilizer to put on later today.(pics later)

need to get a wall set up at work in my garage area so i can put my 66 up there.
after that the cap is going into my (home) garage for storage while im away at school.

Nice truck! Take good care of it and it will last a long time. My boss has a 2003 2500hd with 190K, 90% while towing a trailer. trannys starting to slip but like I said a large dual axle work trailer filled to the brim with equipment and waste

Looks great you can work with the 4.3 My buddy has the old 4.9 ford in 2 of his trucks the 95 has 44s under it and it kept up with my burban with the vortec 454 no problem well he was probably in the pedal alot more then me but that still says alot.
