$800 94 2500 two wheel drive"Stinky"

This is my 1994 GMC 2500 two wheel drive I bought for 800 dollars. It has a 4.3 and nv3500 manual. Great little truck that had been sitting almost 10 years. It only has 113K on it. My boys named it "Stinky" because it had a bunch of trash in it and the cab liner was wet also.

Plans for Stinky the wheel barrow?

Step one: Make it driveable.

Step two: Make it less stinky

Step three: Enjoy good cheap truck while spending money saved on other two projects!

As for driveable. Stinky had two broken leaf springs. Not like a middle spring more like the eye broken clean off(apparently a pallet and a half of concrete will do that). I knew this when the purchase price was discussed.

I replaced the both the leaf springs in the P.O. driveway then drive it home 4 hours from VA to NC. It drove great. Rides nice and idled along at 70mph until I hit rain.

Next bought brand new Falken 235 85r16s and threw them on. Much better ride.

Cleaned out the bed from 5 years of yard waste that was left in it to rot. Only a couple of little rust spots and the rubber cab floor liner was worn and soaked(Stinky).

So I got a radio for christmas from the wife. Should have been a 30 minute install...

When I pulled up the kick panels to look at the speaker wires the floor liner was full of mud and nasty so I cut it out. I cleaned the floor and scuffed everything up. Now it has an awesome bedliner floor. Oh and nice radio.
