Hi everyone, my name is Erik, I'm from Québec Canada and this is my GMC Sonoma. It's a 1995, 2.2L non-ecotec manual. I bought it because it was cheap, single cab, has the engine/transmission I wanted and the mecanic is perfect. Ok it's pink, or raspberry if you prefer, but I don't really care, I must even say that I'm starting to like the colour. By the way, this is not going to be the biggest build ever, it's my first car and i'm super poor.
When I got it:

The previous owner was an old man who purchased it brand new in 1995, so it's super clean!

I removed the fiber box thing, chrome fender trims and the step bars. Then I started to buy parts for it, I bought a 3/4 drop and a rollpan of ebay

B*tches love pink trucks (even if it's a male)

Got some small mirror at 25$

Then I got my drop installed. I had airlift on the truck, but the bags were broken and the compressor didn't do anything, so when the blocks were installed in the back, the bags were removed. What I didn't know was that some leafs were pulled... so it resulted in a 3/6 drop.

It's nice to being able to transport things

I was tired of being low in the back, but relatively normal in the front sooooo I got 2" spindles

So here's the truck now, waiting to install the drop, getting new wheels and new fenders

I plan to get these Basset wheels, they're cheap and could get them in 15x8 ET-25, what do you think it would be with my current tire setup (205/75/15)?
