Its salmon!!! :lol:

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

I think you need the whole grill assembly including the lights.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

I believe you need the grille along with headlights (if you're getting a 94-up grille anyways, I'd imagine for a nicer truck you'd go with aftermarkets anyways) As for mounting the grille, if all else fails, duct tape and baling wire? ;)

And as for the air cleaner... it's stock. It's part of GM's newer version of the super duper awesome-atic and rare "Corvette Option" with a hopped up 327 out of a Vette with awesome wicked cams heads and special pistons with the flags imprinted on the piston tops for super compression and performace, and special color options on the grilles, air cleaner lids, seats, bumpers, and racing stripes.

Unfortunately, her truck only has a standard black grille (didn't come with the super cool 100 extra horsepower "Rompin' Racin' Red" grille color option) and Super-COOOLD Air "Purrin' Pretty Pink" air cleaner lid. No Super Groovy Comfort "Suave Suade Blue" seat, Flyin-By-Ya-Streak "Babes Burnin Blue" Racing stripes, or "Whoah-my-eyes White" super light racing bumpers, unfortunately.

Still, I'd totally pay $50,000 for that truck... after it'd been rolled 8 times doing Mach Chicken, end-over-ended 30 times, and did a quadruple bypass barrel roll... sixteen times while travelling at near warp speed on a super sweet stunt ramp, cuz it's so sweeeet and rare! :smoke:

No really though, it's a pretty clean truck.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

I just picked this one up. Its a 94. Its just going to be a work truck so no need to be pretty

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Man, I'd be careful about what you put in that pocket by the back seat, it might just fall through the cab corner & get run over. :D just kidding. I did hear of a guy in Alaska, that was driving his old rusty subaru, hit a bump,fell through the floorboards and died by being run over by his own car. Looks like a good work truck.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Nice seats!! Im needing some new ones!!! :devil:

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

The floors are solid on this truck but Illinois weather is not kind to trucks :waah:. Ya when I looked at the truck I couldn't believe how nice the interior was.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

I know that first hand. My old 91 S-10 Blazer was from Chicago area. Rusted out behind and in front of the rear wheel wells, and starting to rust elsewhere. Minnesota ain't any better by any means. That's why I'm glad North Dakota uses sand, instead of rust-a-matic insta-cancer salt. Sorry, I know how to drive in snow and ice, and I'd prefer not watching my truck rot away before my eyes.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

I'm jealous, that is one nice truck

Here is my 97 with 200,700 miles. Its not pretty but has served me well.
Attachment 434378
This truck has nickel and dimed me than any other vehicle I have ever owned, but I have driven it more than any other vehicle so I guess that's the way it goes. :smoke:

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Interesting back-drop.;) . I like the truck. How much did you crank up the front torsion bars or was it a lift?

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

I haven't touched the bars or put on a lift, haven't seen one on it either. I know it's got 275/or 265 75/16's on it.

Yea the backdrop is my house and the instant carport and car cover over my monte carlo ss.

nice truck Elefunke

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Nice truck eric, its good to see more lifted trucks, everyone here with a 2wd wants to drop it, change is good.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

I'd love to see pics...I've been searching for a while for nice, subtle LED tails, as close to an OEM look as possible. I'm guessing you probably sell them, so I can PM you for pricing if I like 'em. Thanks.

BTW, sharp truck, and welcome to the board.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

here is my new work truck, she's a 96.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Here is my daily driver. 150,000 miles and still gets me from here to there and back. It's a 98

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

This is my '92 Sierra. I have had it for about a year now and changed alot of stuff, and plan for more, as money allows ofcourse. It's been a pretty good truck so far considering i got it real cheap. The first pic is a shot from shortly after i bought it. The second was from fall. The third is how it sits right now. Those are the wheels i'm going to run in the summer. I just threw em on to snap a few pics. What do ya think?

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

I like how it sits in the second pic, I'm not really digging the wheels in the third pic but if you like them thats all that matters.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

its not even broke in yet at only 150k miles on it, cool truck btw

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

They are not my first choice in wheels myself. But i got a smokin' deal on em (from a board member actually). They are 17" Billet Specialties, and look sweet when driving, so they'll do. It sit's the same in both second and third pics, just hard to tell. I lowered the front 2" and plan for a little more, 1" front and 3-4" rear.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

HAHA i just noticed my dog in the last pic. He looks like he's thinkin' *Screw this, i'm leaving* lol

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

My 96 Hoe. Yeah I know it's got a GMC grille but I think it looks better. 18x10 Billet Specialties w/ 285/60/18 Goodyear Eagles. Mostly stock except for what you can see in the pic. Sorry for the small pic, still playin wth the comp.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Very clean and nice Hoe, J-Rod, looks great

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

This is my 1990 K 1500 Silverado which I bought back in October. It has 16" American Racing Diamond Lock IIs with 305s and I'm not sure how much lift. Maybe 4". Just a bone stock truck. It's got almost 165,000 miles which I didn't think was too bad.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

:new:

Here's my '88 1500, Black and tan. It's got a little over 161K miles. It's what I was looking for: older style Chevy, black, short box, regular cab, perfect start to a 454 SS clone. I drove it home, parked it, and it died. I've probably replaced half the truck by now :m7: I can't even list it all, cause I can't remember it but some things:
-battery
-gas tank
-fuel lines
-brake lines
-seats
-speakers
-radio
-tires
-air cleaner
-fuel filter
-every light on the truck, exterior and interior
-wiring cover under hood (Hard as hell to find!!)
-thermostat
-center hubs
-wheel cylinders
-all brakes
-idler arm
-pitman arm

And alot more. Right now, it's leaking oil like a ***** so I've gotta drop the trans and replace the rear main seals, the oil pan gasket and the oil pan itself. It's gonna be alot of work...

A couple future mods are new rocker panels, new cab corners, new bed, shaved doorhandles, black bumpers, black/red grille emblem, 454SS decals, 454SS tailgate decal, soft tonneau cover, new headliner, new carpet, 30% VLT tinted windows, and the same wheels, just chromed.

Here's some older pics, summer '08, before the winter came and killed my bed, rockers, and cab corners that much more... :devil:

Over spring break, I replaced the rear main seal, oil filter seal, oil pan gasket, and oil pan. I also hand-sanded the grille and painted it black. Sorry, no pics.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Me Likey:four::clap:

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Looks like a 6" with those 33's. Nice lookin pickup, I'm bettin it'd look a lot better with 35's under there.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

my new truck. a stock 96 chevy with a 350

I love her.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Thanks. Love my truck

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

hahaha. You read my mind. As soon as I burn those tires off I'm going to stuff some 35s up under there because the tires do need to be a bit bigger.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

The title says 1989
This is what it looks like after the new front end.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Diesel, did your truck have the 4 sealed beam headlights before the new front end? I'm looking to swap my headlights for the composite-style, mine's an '88. Nice truck, by the way :metal:

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 

Thanks JK88
This project has been a couple of yrs of "work in progress" with my son and me.
When we got it, it was just a cab and chassis. We payed $200 for a title and we also got some rusty metal on wheels.
Sorry I couldn't help you out
