  • The Pink GMC Sonoma

    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:


    I **** rust


    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

    Rollpan installed

    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.

    Plastidiped my lip, yo

    My truck vs. a Ram (and my idiot friend)

    It's nice to being able to transport things

    Or friend that makes your frame touching the pavement

    Or even sleep in the bed while watching movies with the gf and the dog

    The truck vs. my brother's Jeep


    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)?

      I'm liking this so far, those wheels would look good in my opinion.

                          That color is awesome.

                          What did you do with all the old airlift stuff?

                            For everybody who was asking, it will stay forever with this color haha, and I threw telper bags in the trash, the they had holes on it and all the lines and the small compressor are still on the truck... I should remove everything.

                            Talking about this... Should I rust both of my front fenders while I look for new ones? The idea tickles me and I need opinions

                              I want my Civic this color. Looks good, if it still doesn't sit level just take a coil or two off the front springs, it won't ruin anything. I'd replace or try to fill that rusty front fender, but otherwise it looks good! Get some small wheels, skinny tires, delete the wheel gap and this will be awesomer!
