pic of my 95 1500

i got this back in june as a gift (it is my first truck)and it has the 5.7 v8 and has a nice dual exhaust that roars, 4x4, remote start, heavy duty battery, the silverado option and a rhino liner, i got a quarter of the bond-o sanded a day or so after this picture i am the 3rd owner of it and it runs well its about to hit 200k miles it seams a little to plain to me. Any suggestions on what i should get for it ?

She's awful pretty. I'd leave her as is and use your money on better things!

You're going to sell a gift? Isn't that a little rude?

I think he means what kinda stuff should he buy for the truck. I say a good tune-up is always a great start.

right, i had it inspected and serviced, but a small problem has surfaced, when driving it to a local home depot the gas gauge was moving around and I don't know why. I think the fuel pump is fluctuating.

Re: pic of my 95 1500

lol
I'd ditch the front plate.
I'd find a color matched bug shield.

Otherwise, it looks good....those trucks still look nice to me.

Nice truck. After you get rid of the rust, buy her a set of new shoes and give her a fresh coat of paint.

That looks just like my uncle's truck from back in the day. I believe it was three trucks ago now.

I was thinking of getting a set of jetzon revengers and a new paint job for her . and maybe a fuel pump... sometime... the price for a new one is about $300-$600 mines ok but it fluctuates every 30 seconds or so.

i know the gmt 400's were pretty good trucks. up here in maine there are more gmt 400 chevy and gmc plow trucks alone than any competitors combined, my uncle also had a truck 99.9% identical to mine and it towed a huge four winns boat to a lake a good distance away from home and back with ease.

That's a nice Chevy 1500

You can modify this truck with all sorts of custom accessories.
Start with some TIS custom wheels.
