Arnold's 355
First saw her on an auction and liked the idea of fixing her up.



Picked her up from the body shop.



Took her for a test drive!



Added some cab lights


Cheap $14 dollar fog light mod that "appear stock"


Plasti dipped both bumpers with black dip and glossifier as well.






Dipped the grille as well and raised the bumper a bit to close the gap. (excuse the missing GMC...future plans...lol)


Eliminated the nasty bull bar and cut out the extra valance lip.


Resonator Delete. Not the best way compared to others but I did like the results.


Added Pro Compl 13120 short leaf spring.


BEFORE


AFTER


Replaced horn with HARBOR FREIGHT HORN (not the loudest but better than the stock one.)


Tinted my cab lights.









Near future plans: Add roof rack rails with cross members, tow hooks (currently in mail), and modify grille with mesh.

Later: Add 31" tires, crank the tb's, align, and tune PCM

Looking good! Always nice to see someone bring a truck back to life.
Thanks! Slowly but surely it is coming along.
The plastidip made a big difference, Can´t wait to see the 31" rubbers on that lady.

nice build compadre
Nice progress... Keep 'em coming.
Sweet start & great results from a truck most would've cast off for spare parts. Keep up the great work!

Added my nation decal



Found compatible smoke cab light covers to replace harbor freight tools covers. Ordered leds to replace original bulbs and I am very happy with the new look.

i like the cab lights that is cool! lookin good! cant wait to see the tb crank and tires
Thanks bud! Wife just got a job; starts in August. Hence my 31s are closer to be slapped on.
is it weird i want cab lights?



I like my cab lights...not weird IMO, some people question it cuz its a mid size truck but to me its a good lucking different, others want a light bar instead. I will accomodate my light bar elsewhere, different locations are available.

well said my man
heck yea! you will love the clearence
I took her on a fishing trip last weekend and did some mudding; oh I am happy with the performance it holds. I can only imagine what she will be capable of doing with bigger tires and more clearance, and definitely tuned!!! lol
Thanks! 4wd is nice; however 2wd with g80 locker...terrain tires and tune are very capable of mudding! My brother had one and boy that truck could mud!
Upcoming mods...looking forward to finishing up and show you guys my progress. Here is a bit of what is to come...
