My truck..updated pics

Right now I just have recent pics of the tailgate that Im working on in school, and a PS a buddy did of what my truck would look like laying frame.

Whoever paid to have the bedliner sprayed in got jipped. I pulled it off with a putty knife and pliers after removing the handle. The tailgate took a nice tumble when it flew off after hitting a bump(it was down, and a previous owner stretched the hinges). I got it all ready for primer. Next is cutting the inner center section to reverse the handle and smooth it. Im priming it all so it can be put back on until the kit arrives.

This is the disassembly process. In which I found out how easily the bedliner was to remove.

Thats a photoshop of what all of my classmates want me to do to it. I need to take some pics of it. I'll get flamed for what I did out of boredom, but it was an idea for paint. Pics up tomorow. I got another headunit for it. A 6.5" Pioneer In Dash DVD. It has to be sent in to Pioneer. I might sell it. Ive got a few ideas of where this truck is going.


GMC Syclone "tribute": Supercharged LS1, 6 speed, 4.10 posi, 20" Iroc wheels, Cowl Induction Hood, SRT-10 Style exhaust through the roll pan.

Opinions are very welcome. I sit and plan out all mods for all of my cars during and after classes.

I gotta get current pics tomorow. I like the ride height it has, its factory lowered. Ive seen one with 20" IROC wheels, and it fills out the wheel wells nicely. As far as laying frame, maybe if I buy another. Cougar comes first.

Took these about 5 minutes ago. I washed it quick, its useless to wash it when I drive 100 miles on fridays back to KS. But I like it clean. Tailgate is still waiting for primer. I did a little takeoff for ya. That 4.3 has some torque, and no I dont dump the clutch.














The ghost flames are an idea for my upcoming paint. Im painting it in school in 6 months, and these are just a decal kit from Autozone, but seem to set off the truck quite well. Opinions are welcome about anything/everything.

needs an extreme front bumper, then they would flow better. Looks good, and please tell me thats not a 4.3 vortex. I hate those motors, my stepmoms jimmy is on its 4th.

Yep its a 4.3 Vortec. Stout little  too. 130K on it, and my cousin abused the hell out of it. Runs great(probably from the 1k I put into parts), just needs a tranny flush. No on the extreme kit. I like it how it is, only thing I would do is put some chrome 20'' Irocs on it, and drop it so they fill the wheel wells completely.

Trust me I would rather have a Supercharged LS1 under that hood anyday. But for a 5 speed its the best vehicle Ive owned

The last few days, Ive been cutting up the roll pan to tuck exhaust tips. Tips are from an 02 Oldsmobile Aurora. Got it all fitting, and primed.

4.3 vortex.

You sound like every other stupid hillbilly that used to come into Autozone back in the day.  "It gots one of them VorteX in it.  Special made!"  I would promptly say Vortec.  They would correct me until I took them out to there vehicle and showed them the intake and lack of an X!!!  Yet still being the idiots they were they continued to say VorteX.  :punchballs:  Kinda like you probably will.
