arty0011:I have been absent for about 2 weeks on here and hunkering down in the garage working on my new toy. lots of long days and not much riding just getting the toy up to my specs.first a little history..I have been into lifted trucks for about 15 years my first being my 87 mazda 4x4 which i have owned for 24 years 89 S10 Blazer on 5" lift,82 K5 on 8 suspension,84 K5 on 7",01 Ram on 10" you get the picture.Our most recent rig was an 01 ZR2 Blazer sweet truck but really bad for hauling anything only lifted that truck 2".I have been hankering for another fullsize but not solid axle like most of my other big boys just an IFS for mild wheeling and mostly street use which brings me to the newest toy 1995 Chevy K1500 Z71 extended cab already had 2" lift and flowmaster cat backs.I went to look at it about an hour after selling the ZR2 and man this thing was a pig sty,I think there were mushrooms growing in the interior but the interior was undamaged in spite of the filth.ouside was just as nasty like it hadnt bben waxed in years but all power options worked and truck drives awesome with a 5.7 so i brought her home.the wife and I spent about 12 hours on the interior pretty much gutting it and cleaning top to bottom came out looking like new very pleased.the body didnt fare as well with scratches but is rust free and only has one bad dent on the drivers door.found a guy local to buff it for 40 cash.stripped all the stickers,wheel well trim and side mouldings off. truck is black so i am gonna go with a roll pan,cowlhood ,powdercoat front bumper,tint windows and fresh paint I will post up some pics soon as wife took my beast to work today
