Thread: My 01 Gevy build

Ive been on DR for a while now and decided it was time to post my build thread. Parents bought me the truck in 2009 from some guy off craigslist.
Specs Were:

2001 GMC Seirra
4.8l v8 with 50k on the motor and trany
Highly modified CST long travel kit
Fiberglass front fenders
Stock rear end

once i finish resizing all the pictures ill post the rest of what i have

What is a gevy?? lol gmc/chevy?

Very nice hurry up.

Since i havent resized the pictures yet ill just post up the current specs:
Engine/trany: throttle body spacer, shift kit
Front Suspension: Full long travel kit built by Wicked Creations
Rear Suspension: Bed cage with 16'' smooth bodies on stock leafs(soon to upgrade)
Body: 03-06 chevy silverado lights and grill, Mcniel racing one piece clip and fiberglass bedsides
Wheels/Tires: 37'' BFG projects wrapped around 17'' polished walker evans street locks

i had the truck for about a year and a half before i started changing things. When it was time to buy new tires i bought the 37s and some unpolished walker evans wheels off RDC and i had my bedsides cut and pulled.

few months later i found a good deal on a bed cage and 16'' smooth bodies and had them installed

i was really happy with the truck at this point and maybe 6 months later a pole at the gas station jump out and hit me on my drivers side bed side and it was cheaper to buy fiberglass so i did.

when i went to pick up the bedsides from perry mcniels house he started talking to me about designing a one piece clip for silverados and he asked me if id be interested in letting him use my truck for a month or so to design one and he'd give me a good deal on the clip and free installation. About 2 months went by and i decided to take him up on his offer. He had my truck for almost a month and a half and when i picked it up it looked like this.

Then about a year went by and i had finally saved enough for a new front end.

When i got it back after the new front end i cut the bumper off

this is pretty much how it sits right now except i have a new set of polished walkers on it now.

Plans for it as of right now are:
New front fenders and fiberglass hood
Fully tubed core support
Bypasses on the front end
Front bumper
Rear tire carrier and bumper
Giant 64'' kit

Thanks man, i drive by there every other day to go to train at the Ralph Gracie jiu jitsu up the street.

Truck looked so good right there...

I know I miss the way it looked which is why im replacing the front glass so I can get that clean look back

once you get glass fenders and a hood and get them all painted green man this thing will be a beauty... that clip is awesome don't get me wrong just super gnarly. Needs 39's, center mounted a-arms etc.

X2. That clip would look rad filled out, but I think your truck is gonna look tons better with some color matched fenders!

Im thinking the same thing

i saw you like 2 weeks ago when i was pullin out of csuf. Truck sure does stand out. Should look clean with the new glass. I do really like that clip and i agree with the fact that a wider front end and 39's would make it much better looking, however for a streetable truck, a more mild glass setup makes much more sense

cant figure out how to upload pictures but the one piece is gone, gonna call glassworks tomorrow and place my order

Did u get what u told me u were wanting to get for it?

No but im just glad its gone, i should be getting some more hours at work so we can start putting in some work on this thing

How far off? Sounds good to me!

It wasn't to far off I thought it was pretty fair

That's cool

Picked up my hood and fenders from glassworks today should hopefully have them installed by tomorrow

Use photobucket to upload pictures..

I know this is pointless without pictures but the fenders are mounted and the hood is sort of mounted im having trouble mounting it. ill send the pictures to someone who knows how to post them if you guys want to check it out.
