These are a few pictures from my GMC Canyon Build so far. My future plans include a full custom interior, body drop, and v8 swap. I have 20'' chrome Centerline Archers on order and they should be here soon. I realize alot of yall are into fast cars and such and not impressed with minitrucks, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far, and I want to show it off.

Well, I haven't been too active on here so I figured I'd show you guys some pictures of what I've been up to.

WELL HERE SHE IS THE NIGHT I BOUGHT IT BACK IN NOVEMBER 2007

hey man i love the way your goin with the truck. cant wait to see the rims!

 

Your plate is not original.

 

why is your truck painted and the license plate not diagonally inserted into your tailgate? Primer your shit up and relocate that plate asap.

 

Looks like you're off to a good start... The 4 link is a little too close together for my liking... I'd like to see detailed pics of the front setup...

Props for bagging one of the hardest trucks to bag... Takes to much shit to bag a Coly...

I liked those aftermarket wheels you had on it... I always like seeing some old skool billets...

In for my pics of the pink shoebox too...

 

He hasn't gotten that far yet... rofl... Hes doin a good job... Mine was supposed to see paint this year but I traded it...

 

There's a lot of rust on that frame and drivetrain for a 2007, is that normal?

 

Tires are backwards on the chrome wheels.

 

lol.

 

I will never understand the fascination with mini trucks but you've made good progress and everything seems to be quality so far. What motor are you planning on swapping? Keeping the stock drivetrain with a v8? If so, seems like a terrible idea to me.


Oh, and way to bite someone else's idea for the plates.
