Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

Thanks Mike.
Other than that one little piece, it doesn't look bad. I was thinking about going to our local salvage yard and hunting down a '95-'98 truck with power locks/windows and red door panels, so I can put them on my truck. I like the look of '95-'98 door panels better than '88-up.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

I like the look of the '95-'98 panels better, and I like how the buttons sit up with the armrest, not on the side of the panel itself. Me and my dad have a bad habit of hitting buttons with our knees and locking the doors or rolling down windows. And the '95-'98 panels are closer to the panels in his 2000, and I just like the style, and as I said, I like where the power switches are.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

i like how they have door speakers... haha

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

LOL that's another good one. I can put my Sony's in the doors. :D

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

i say do it, it looks pretty good actually.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

Haha yeah. Hey Scott, did you ever start a thread of that '89 of yours?

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

Did a little cleaning of the truck and wheels. Here's pre-wash:

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

Nice! I always have to do a double take on how well the front end blends into the trucks paint scheme.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

From looking at the photos...... Isn't it nice to have so much room at the house to do projects as this? If I had a 4 car garage, I'd restore my '68 Firebird Convertible.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

Honestly it'd be nice if we had a 4-bay garage. Be one hell of a shop to work in. We live in just under 4 acres, and we only use a tiny chunk of the land to work on thee trucks. The '92 was rebuilt in the driveway and the 4-door is being built under a makeshift shop/garage. But I do know what you mean.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

I got bored, so here's a few update pics and then a few pics I took just because.

Painted my hitch; receiver and ball hitch.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

A few updates. First, swapped bumpers. I took the brush guard off of the GMC and swapped it with the push bumper on the Crew Cab. I think it looks shnazzy :lol:

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...14924703_n.jpg

Next, was the removal of all 4 centercaps. They were old, plastic, and breaking. So I said to hell with 'em...pulled the caps, painted my front grease caps red, and all 4 of my valve stems red.

And lastly, the obvious fact that my tonneau cover is gone. Took it off for the time being...it'll probably find itself back on the truck later.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
 

A few new shots out in the middle of the day in the sun. I plan on giving the entire truck a bath and cleaning the interior soon.

Needs some cleaning first

In with the new...tomorrow. 60/40 cloth bench with center console out of a '95-'98. After some cleaning tomorrow, along with some modifications to make the damn thing fit right, it'll be in the truck.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra C1500 Shortwide DD/Project
 

I think you will enjoy that 60/40 split bench a lot better, I had one in my old truck, looking for one to put in my 00 GMC.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra C1500 Shortwide DD/Project
 

I already do. I got it bolted in today, and it is so much more comfortable than those torn up 20-year-old leather buckets :lol:

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra C1500 Shortwide DD/Project
 

My old leather buckets are gonna go in the '94. I'm gonna take the console back out and put the middle seat back in. Mainly so there's a center seat for my sister's kids during Ohio trips :lol:

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra C1500 Shortwide DD/Project
 

Thought I'd go ahead and post these before I head off to sleep. A couple pictures I took while cleaning my cab. First one is my little bulldog that has been in every truck I've owned since 2007.

This one shows how well you can clean a truck carpet with some vacuum work :lol:. I'll have pics of the newly installed front seat tomorrow

Looks 10000x better than the leather, and more comfortable.

Added tow hooks to the front today:

The push pads on the bumper tuck them away, but they're still usable and accessible, and they fill in the holes on the valance.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra C1500 Shortwide DD/Project
 

Well, I've got a few updates on my truck. First, I put a new rotor on the left front spindle, so that I have 5 studs again instead of 4. Also, swapped out my back windows. Put in windows that don't have louver covers on them. And on top of that, I put my toolbox in the bed and gave the truck a bath.

Now for the pics. I've never taken photos way in the back pasture of our property so I thought I'd do so. :lol:
