ok, im getting a 96 ext. cab z71 for 4K i should be getting it this weekend or next week sometime. the only downside to it is that it has 212K miles, but the exterior is in great shape and its completely stock, so i know that it hasnt been abused by a teenager, stock exhaust and ride height, hell it even has the stock tire size in highway tires. so this might be a great platform to start on.
