Meadow Green Metallic

Hi, i'm from quebec city and i just want to show you my truck !

I drive it everyday and i plan to drop it 3/4 this summer !
It's not a project truck but i want to make it that way slowly..( no garage and it is my only car...)

I got some pictures to show you, nothing big but i keep it clean

I love my paint color...here in quebec i didn't see other gm trucks (modified) with that color.
I saw some sierra/silverado who are the same generation but nothing beautiful ..just work trucks or stock ones ... And 1-2 truck on internet ...It's kind of unique for me ahah..

So enjoys pics guys !

and finally !!!

Here's actually the only shot i got with my daily wheels ! :
Click the image to open in full size.

But i try my 15" with the winter rubbers(205 or 215?!/65/15)something like that i never remind it lol..they are bigger a little bit so it's looking badass but it's too big! My 18" are smaller. (245/45/18) and its more driveable with them...almost not rubbing.

It's not rubbing...it's just frictionning a little bit !
Click the image to open in full size.
Maybe my swaybar link is too much bolted..i just unbolted a little bit....( but the 2 are the same lenght i did correct chevy lean when i install my xtreme swaybar..)

Height pics :

I thing my aftermarket frontpipe is really lower than the original...it's sucks..Click the image to open in full size.

Okay so i wash my truck last week !

I love those pictures ! my truck looks so nice !!

Those are my daily summer wheels: 245-45-18, offset : really bad lol but it's more driveable like this because if i did go wider the tires will be rubbing on the exterior fender lip so it could tear my tires...

On big hits, rubbers are touching in the inner fender ( flat surface ! ) so it's so bad ... it need bigs bumps.

Hi so it's the octobre 21th and i just past the 200 000 km !!! Yeah !
My engine is in perfect shape, but "need" plugs, rotor and a distributor to make it happy for being so gentle ! ahah

On heavy heavy rainy days, it makes some little missfires and sometimes (happens 2 times in 2 years..the 2 rainiest times we got here in quebec city) it didn't want to start...

So if i can bought those pieces it should be done before the next spring..when snow melts...

Click the image to open in full size.

Maybe 2 weeks ago i change my oil and put some Penzoil, first time i use it and i'm pretty satisfied..(less valves sounds, sorry didn't know how to say that ! lol) even if it is a 5w-30 like i always use for our winters.... lol.

Prestone was clean and now it is change...almost for nothing but now i know that the gasket are maybe in pretty good shape etc.... No leals and it never make smoke; white one.

Party picture: Click the image to open in full size. I revoved the prestone overflow tank so i was able to make anti-rust paint touch up on the fenders....but i give up for the other side...hum. this was my fail of the day lol but the fenders are still in good shape.

cia !
