Organ donor

Killed my 95 after some jack *** looses load, stops next to it on very top of bridge at night with no hazards. Managed to not hit it head on and clipped him. But i still ended up gettin a damn citation for failire to control speed. Like as soon as line of sight is restored there happens to be a fkn pile of **** chevy dead stop on the fkn road doing 45 climbing a hill

Bought a single can the next day. Dashboard hit my knee other than that crowl out back window walking.


Need a front clip in houston tx




My 95 destroyed.








Now to find a rare @ these neck of the woods diesel bumper. Smh





Good thing there was no passenger





New baby





Surprise when i opened hood





Wondwr if has aftermarket bump stick.





My seats that i was in d process of installi g in my truck the day of wreck. Only installed driver..





My baby next to an organ donor b4 it left for paint. Im restoring my boss' sons truck. They went lmc crazy and i got alot of the stuff that was replaced. Now it goes to my single cab project

Yikes. I'm glad you were alone and that you made it through the wreck okay. You hit that thing hard. Sad to see a nice ride gone and lost but at least this way you can try and start fresh with something even more amazing.

Brutal Man. Glad everyones ok though; could've been a lot worse. On another note, where'd you get those seats? They're pretty sweet.

Yay or nay?





The seats, i wound up receiving them as a gift from my bosses(married couple. They went with black interior instead of gray. Instead of tearing those down i donated my stock seats. That are identical. They paid 800 to get upholstered.


Im going to try and do a follow up build with the single cab. First thing on my list is to take off the 3" body lift on a non 4x4(smh)







400 duckies. Front clip and doors is all it needs besides stickin my drivetrain in it.

If you're in the houston area, there's 3 LKQ locations (Hiram Clarke, Northville, and Wallisville) with a metric ****ton of parts for that body style.

Sorry to see that, glad no one was hurt. The fact that it happened in Houston is almost less surprising that some guy lost his load on the road. What did shock me is the dude stopped. I think I've driven by every piece of a house, one at a time, in the middle of the highway. Studs, drywall, mattresses, dishwashers, washing machine... Never seen a guy give a crap he lost it.



BTW, cool Mahindra shirt.

I managed to bring it closer to home.

Here is what i am starting with. As stated before ill have to relace front clip and remove lift blocks.

I have my flareside bed that i harvested from my super cab to replace this fleetside that has passanger side damage. Shame the roll pan is missing a piece on one side.

I will transfer both gas tanks over to this one. Transmission shift cable is shot. Good thing i have an oe cable on standby..

So before i get her going i am locked in on the bodywork. I want to prep as much as i can on the truck so the painter can focus on block'n and painting. By removing lights,glass,trim,bumpers,etc.....

I got some por-15 and i really want to remove the cab and apply it to every surface on that frame. I already have to remove the body lift. What else do i need to disconnect/remove to remove the cab? Steering shaft,brake lines on master cylinder,e brake cable,fuel line bracket by fire wall, firewall connectors (like 4 ithink).

Got the body lift off and slapped the bed on there.<br/><br/>Can someone provide me a schematic in the core support bushing/mounts. Dont know if they had shims/spacers or what not. I also need cab nolts as the body lift cant be used because they are too long. I need to buy a set of cab bushings [6] but need to make sure i get the correct parts.

I like your progress so far. I would love to find a short bed like the one you replaced around here.

I think the bushings and bolts might be a dealer thing. RockAuto doesn't have them.
