Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Here is a '95 I transformed. I bought it in '98 with about 70k on it. 6.5TD/5spd/3.73:1 former brick mason's truck. I planned the utility bed when I bought it. Truck ended up off the road a year or more because my paint guy found a buyer for the bed. As it sat I decided to go ahead with creating my ultimate work truck and the work began. I wanted wider flares for wider rims (8") and that meant changing front fenders to non-flare type. I also rigged up a ram-air hood. That left only the cab and doors original paint, so I decided to try another GM color used on S-series and Corvette, Fairway Green. It had a long list of changes but this thread is about pictures, so here it is

I ran it a few years and it was a great truck, till one night I lost control rolling through a sharp curve where an accident had just been cleared... literally just cleared. The cop and Paramedic Suburban were coming back up the hill from turning around at the river and were behind the car I hit. no sooner had I shut it off I hear the cop tell me to guard my eyes as he broke my window to get me out. Antifreeze was all over the road and it got me!
