Swap Meet Slam

[WILWAXU]

Since I don't have enough to do already.. How about a new project

Picked up this cool 1990 Chevrolet C1500, 350, Auto, 2wd, Regular Cab Stepside from a swap meet friend. It is rough around the edges and is in desperate need of some TLC. It's an original Arizona truck, and has spent the majority of its life between SoCal and AZ. As you would expect, there is no rust, but everything plastic is a little crispy.

Plan is to make it a fun driver/parts chaser, retaining it's usefulness as a truck and still fun going around corners. Ridetech's 'new' StreetGRIP Suspension System for C1500's is the first major upgrade, and leads the way to where I am going with this project.

I've started scouring the bone yards and craigslist for C1500 parts. Already scored many of the small parts the truck was missing, or were too far gone to mess with. Suspension is ordered, and a plan for rolling stock is coming together.

The old truck was in need over an overhaul. Tear down is mostly done. Build up began with the doors. Lots of parts from @lmctruck going in this weekend 🚘

This will be cool. I've thought of building one up as well. There's so much room to go ultra low with wide wheels. I figured it'd be easier than trying to do the same with a car. I think an AWD setup would be killer too. Ah, to dream.

Good luck with it, John. Keep us posted.

Thanks! Plan for this one is part chaser/driver. This kit allows it to be low, great ride, and still be usable as a truck.
