This was already posted on PSN, sorry if you already seen it.

I bought this truck 6 mos old when I was a Sr. in high school (00')
after many lifts, mods & years of hard work it was looking pretty rough & getting rusty. Because it was my first truck & I pd cash for it I just couldnt let it go.

So this is where it begins, you will like to see the finished product after a 10-12k upgrade. i know I know probably should have just bought a new truck, well I did so I made this my play truck!!

How much wrapped up in the resto?

GTOKILLER · Jan 14, 2012

I think I had about 12k into it but that was 5k in wheels & tires, about 3500 into paint, the rest was the lift misc stuff

That's pretty steep..nice truck. I have those same headlights, but they're black around the projector and high beam.

I loved reading the build thread over on PSN, and the paint looks fantastic.

How made or designed the suspension? How does it ride and handle at high speed I don't seem a sway bar

GTOKILLER · Jan 14, 2012

Susp. was designed by a friend of mine Todd Barrett. It drives great no sway bars needed I run about 30 PSI in the front bags with a pan hard, about 18 in the back that gives me a level 20" or so of lift. I drove it to Silver lake & back 4 times now 2.5 hours one way, also drove it to Lima truck jamboree last year in Ohio about 3.5 hours each way. Set the cruise at 78 & enjoy the best ride ever in a lifted truck !!

I like it with the tires tucked with no air in the bags! I also remember seeing it on PSN

GTOKILLER · Jan 15, 2012

Color is a GM paint code they used on the 05-06 GTO Via my old car & my used name haha RIP to fast for me. Mine was red but always wanted Brazen orange one.

I thought that color looked familiar, there are a few GTO's around me in that color.
