If the mechanical bits are solid(ish) I would repaint matte black. Plastidipped vehicles look chincy IMO

Your truck looks good. I only sell for major engine or transmission failure.

Thanks brother, after thinking it over plasti dipping it would look dumb...I'll most likely paint it satin or matte black

I usually don't like accent colors like that but I dig the look my man! I think I actually have the same gray and tan-ish interior but the black and red look pretty good :hmm::hitit:

I was a little hesitant to paint the dash but I couldn't take that color anymore!!! lol...WTF was GM thinking with that color??? :doublepuke:

You can never go wrong with red and black together for contrast ;)

I'd colorswap the interior but I honestly kinda dig the tan, maybe not so much the gray, but it'd be all sorts of trouble doing the whole truck front to back.

Looks like it's time for a new project...Damn Tahoe nearly killed me this morning on the highway, I've had enough of this POS truck!!!

I was on the highway on my way to work doing 75mph around 5am this morning and the truck decided to stall leaving me with no power steering or brakes. I put it in neutral trying to restart it and no dice...just missed slamming into a cement truck. It's been running like shit for the past few days stalling and not restarting for 5 minutes but after this morning, I'm done with this hunk of shit!

For now, it is far to dangerous to drive and has taken it's final drive back to the fire station...I have arranged for it to be set a fire and burned down to the ground ASAP! :D

I'll start looking for another Hoe(NBS Z71 preferably) in MUCH better condition soon...if I don't find what I'm looking for, I'll most likely just buy a new truck...we shall wait and see

Dude, where've you been? Haven't seen you around lately. Are you really gonna burn it? Lol, I know people donate cars to the fire dept for that reason.

Damn glad you're still well and alive with is, that could've turned out really bad. Stalling on the hwy is as scary as it gets.
Hope you get another hoe but even if you get a truck I'm sure you'll still be welcomed here and allowed to start another build thread like neversatisfied and jerry joe.

Man that sucks. Happened to me years ago with an old Buick, and I nearly missed a school bus. Thank god for the empty grass field I rolled onto.
Are you selling parts from the truck?
I'm also from nyc, and have just bought an 02. I have been following your build thread, and would love to buy some parts if you are selling or dumping the car.

I'm back to working around the clock brother...the Hoe has been donated to FDNY and is scheduled to be incinerated this Friday lol

I'll see if I can step away from the fire house and shoot a quick video of the bbq lol

Thanks brother, it got a little hairy trying to stop her with no brakes or steering...luckily the cement truck saw me hauling ass and not slowing down in his mirrors and merged into the next lane

I can buy something already modded to my liking but where's the fun in that lol...I honestly love the look of the NBS Hoes and Yukons, this time around I'll have a better understanding of what to look for thanks to all the information I've read on this site

Hopefully I can find a nice Z71

I've been through hell and back but nothing is as scary as losing total function of a car/truck...I'll let you know if I get rid of any or all parts depending if I find a nice clean Hoe soon brother...if I do find what I'm looking for, I'll add it to my current build thread since most parts will be reused
