Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Just because it's dropped doesn't take away is usability. Go for it!

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
actually it does. This will also be my camping truck, and out in the mountains here, you need all the ground clearance you can get. I know what you mean tho. I do have a spare set of bags laying around. Maybe i should bag it, then i can raise it up when need be, lol, damn, now i'm talking myself into it.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I miss my 1992 GMC standard cab step side. It had a tuned port motor out of an 86 vette.
One of the funnest trucks to drive I've owned. |

It's not pretty, but I use it as a work truck, and it's been extremely reliable- this pic was before it got propane.......

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I'm not feeling the smoked lights purely from a functionality standpoint, but everything else is beatiful!! :metal:
What did you do to the chrome ring to get the brushed look? |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I like the murdered out look. I've jsut never cared for smoked head and running lights though, I prefer clean factory lights myself.
Looks good though. You running a 4/6 drop on there? |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
itchy - what kind of paint is that?
I'm thinking about making my burban flat. I probably won't take the plunge right away, but i'm working on the interior soon (swapping for gray leather)and i'd like to paint the visible metal while the plastic is out. If i don't go flat black, i'll eventually repaint the factory colors (blue and silver). |

Got my old girl all cleaned up the other day, including a long-overdue wax job. Couldn't resist the urge to take pics.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Yay, I can contribute to this thread now.
I traded my 1981 C20 Scottsdale for this 1989 K2500 Silverado. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...6101855-00.jpg |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I got my bumper and grille installed today, finally. I used Street Scene black chrome speed inserts.
Out of the box, they don't fit as well as I like them to. After a little bending, and tweaking they fit pretty good. They're definitely not a "drop right in" kind of insert. The bumper was powder coated, and grille shell just regular painted.... http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...3/100_6812.jpg http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...3/100_6814.jpg This was before.... http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...3/100_6699.jpg |

Thanks guys! Next thing on the list is getting the rear done. I don't know if I want to run a roll pan or just a color matched bumper. I've never been a big fan of roll pans on 2 door Tahoes. Having a roll pan on these really accentuates the fuel tank. But we'll see. The shop that painted my grille and bumper told me they can order a rear bumper cap that's completely smooth. It would get rid of the step pads and outer trim. |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I vote color matched bumper for functionality and to keep that damn tank hidden.
What I always wanted to do with my old Yukon (and wouldn't mind doing with my Suburban) is to take 2 bumpers and weld them together so that they're straight all the way across without the recessed tag area. Then french in a license plate box like a rollpan. |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I think the bumper would look good on it. I like the roll pans, but I agree with you. There is just something about the tahoes that just don't look right to me with a roll pan.

i'm planing to run a w/t rear bumper painted to match my burb.... you can get them new for like $200 or find one at a junk yard (rust and dent free preferably). just a thought...

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
The shop that did my grill and bumper said they can order a paintable "cap" that goes directly over the factory rear bumper.
What you do is remove all the step pads and molding and then the cap slides right over, exactly how those aftermarket front bumper covers work also. It would then be completely smooth and color matched, no step pads, and no molding. Like this one... http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...erCoverBig.jpg |
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
That's a good look. I have seen those "smoothie" (aka W/T) bumpers before that just have the pads on top, but I'd never seen the paintable cap before. Is it plastic?
|
Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
That cap would be sweet.
