Title: The SeventySix Sierra
Post by: lowriderbowtie on July 19, 2008, 11:14:24 pm
Heres my $800 truck.  All Ive had to do to it was replace the 16.5 wheels with 16's, 2 dynomax bullet mufflers, remove most of the "camper special" suspension to give it a 4/3 drop, dyed all the interior vinal black and install a cd player!  So im into this truck for about 1200 bucks so far.  Not bad eh?
89 thousand original miles on this bad boy


2 months ago when I bought it

lol, thoes were free..otherwise they would be gonners.  The only thing I hate about this truck is the 8 bolt wheels.  Cant find any nice lookin rallye wheels for it.

Right on. Before I looked to the left to see where you were located, the very first thing I thought was when I saw the pic: looks like somewhere in BC.  LOL    Funny how styles of homes and surrounding greenery can tell so much of where a location is.  Truck looks good. My dad had a 76 3/4 ton Sierra although it was an ex-gas company truck, painted faded orange, had a 250-6 with a granny 4 speed and was used for lake/camper duty. Thing was tough as nails though.  Too bad those big ugly mirrors were installed, since they almost always ruin a door panel.

Nice!  ;D  Love that shade of blue.

I notice you didn't waste any time removing those door-buster towing mirrors.  Good call.

Same here.  It looked like the local neighborhoods and then I was like, hey, that's a BC liscence plate!  And then I saw he's in Vernon.  Pretty sweet.
