his is a special truck to my dad 95 silverado he special ordered in 1994. Took 4 months to get here and its a special ordred 95 silverado with the 350 to a 5 speed with 3.73 gears. Very rare truck.

Anyways hes been using this truck for the past 15 years and has headers/intake/full exhaust etc and he got into a accident. Perfect time for my father and I to do a project together and get it up to date for him.

Mods will be
EXTERIOR
Color matched door handles
color matched tailgate handle
color matched mirriors
front no hole bumper painted to match
Rear bumper painted to match
painted grill to match
2.5 inch cowl hood
All clear headlights
HID 5000K kit
all bulbs will be chrome but look amber when light up.
chrome chevy bowtie
painted all light bulb housings in silver to look cleaner when put into the euro headlights
Camper Shell will be tinted and doing a light tint on front windows.

ALL TRIM REMOVED.

Entire frame of truck clean and painted Flat black. Fenderwells/springs and all suspension.

Exhaust will have to be changed painted muffler black but pipes behind it are rotted out so doing turn downs by the rear spare tire.

Suspension- making it handle like I do on all my rides.
DJM Front Spinldes
Rear Hotchkis 4 inch drop leafs
Front Belltech Swaybar 1 3/8"
Rear Belltech Swaybar 1"
DJM Rear Lifting Shackle. Ill pull this out after rear leafs settle and going to prob go with a 2 inch lower shackle. Just want rear to be even with the front.


Wheels/tires
Boss Motorsports 338 in Gray
20x8.5 front/20x10 rear
275 45 20 front 295 45 20 rear


Ill keep you updated.
Lower pics are of the new swaybar and bushings installed.

for now front clip will be painted and rest of truck we sanded and buffed. I will be saving up over the next few months and then repainting the rest of the truck.

hotchkis has a major blow out sale i just picked up their front 2 inch drop springs for 75 shipped. Down the road ill install these along with the drop shackles i have for a 4/6 drop. As of now with the 4 inch leafs and a lifting shackle i have like 3.75 inches before rear axle bottoms out so maybe i can bring back the rear down 1 more inch before you have axle travel issues.

NORCAL SS

stock = massive bends as you can see here

belltechs much more straight which means a lot better because more rigid.
