Default Pics of the GMC...

well I've had it for 2yrs now but never posted/showed anywhere really...it's pretty cool,repainted after 8k miles and then went from there.

-cowl hood,2 tone paint w/line graphix through the silver,copper stripe with ghost flames inside and a drop coat of flake in the clear over the black,smoked lights,glass etc,coolmural on gate sends the smoke into the stripes that run around the truck
-DJM 3/4 drop
-Link bars,Detroit tru-trac,4.30 gears,full Class "5" hitch and used all the time!
-LS1 5.3,Billingsly heads,Comp 581 cam,custom cut push rods,10.8-1 c/r,4" intake tube,mod. airbox,K/N filter,'Luther Tune,pacesetter long tubes,off road Y,trail blazer 2800 stall,corvette servo,drive shaft loop,3" mandrel bent custom 1 off exhaust,Magna flow muffler,stainless piping
-Black Stingray III's yes black!...raw polished was way over done.

so far it's been a good truck with some issues with throttle control!...had a sweet trans in it but decided to take it out for the towing aspect. also use to rock the 4.56 gears but sent them flying.

she's driven EVERY day and in the snow,rain whatever. been to WI,MI,MA,NY and countless other states in this rendition...

enjoy!

thanks bro'...yeah the rake has it's benifits...believe it or not,the springs are towing package that came with the truck and I have yet to see the rake on others with a drop kit...weird. the kit was installed on my buddy's truck and it looked like everyone else's...level and nice. put it on mine and instant "hot rod" look. not a big fan of rake unless it's in my race car but it's definatly functional.

I usually have the bed covered but the winters are taking a toll on the T-cover...bad.

i was wondering what powdercoated stingrays would look like. looks freaking awesome. the only thing that i think would look better is 18's instead of 20's with a rake.

Very nice, all the details work well together. Simple yet refined, well done.
