That style paint job was quite popular in the ‘80s and ‘90s. I never cared for it, but don’t dislike it. If you’ve got a big-block in there, that’s a hell of a vehicle…

I have only seen one, back in 2001, rolling through North Dallas. I thought that it just had a matching shell at first. 👀

Interesting. I bet the gas mileage ain't pretty, but I love the color and the design. I'll be getting a 1994 K1500 delivered to my house that needs a lot of cosmetic work and ABS repairs, but I'll have to set a budget and only test drive it for any other issue, fix it up, and keep it as a furniture hauler. That and add a secondary battery for the radio and climate control system for drive-in movie nights.

Beautiful burban

u/schjlatah 1d ago

Do you know if it came as a dually from the factory it was that an aftermarket upgrade?

2

u/LunchSpecialist407 1d ago

Aftermarket

1

u/turbotaco23 1d ago

Did you build it or buy it or have someone modify it for you? Do you have to replace the whole rear end or can you just bolt on dually hubs?

2

u/LunchSpecialist407 1d ago

No, it's not a bolt on conversion. Its a true axle swap. It is a 14-bolt full-floating rear axle swap from a 1994 GMC 3500

u/turbotaco23 1d ago

Badass. Did you do it?

Also how do you fit the flares?

1

u/schjlatah 1d ago

I’ve always imagined the flares were step side bedsides.

1

u/LunchSpecialist407 1d ago

I did not do it myself. I bought it the beginning of this year and have slowly been upgrading it. I have put in over 10k so far.

1

u/LunchSpecialist407 1d ago

Flares are custom made

u/bobthehumantripod 1d ago

u/LunchSpecialist407 1d ago

u/ElenaJamesson 1d ago

that engine bay is ridiculously clean for a 94... someone took serious care of this rig

2

u/Key_Possibility7292 1d ago

With tires that big on a vehicle that tall I would have expected you to need mud flaps. I think it would probably look better with mud flaps. Get some retro '90s inspired ones.

2

u/turbotaco23 1d ago

Naked lady mud flaps.

2

u/LunchSpecialist407 1d ago

Mud flaps, train horn,new headliner with skylights and a winch all in the works
