Here is my Daily Driver.

I put in a painted grill, diamond clear headlights, marker & corner lights, and put on a diesel front bumber. The rear has a welded in Goodmark roll pan, filled and relocated tailgate handle(painter guy screwed up the clear and I am resanding and buffing it). Wheels are BOSS 307's, 245/40-20 Front, 275/45-20 Rear. Drop spindles in front with a hanger/shackle kit in the rear.

Heres my old 96 and my current 00 25hundo. The 96 had a 3" Rough Country lift and 33x10.50 BFGs. I put some later model Z71 Tahoe/suburban decals on it in place of the factory Silverado. Other than that pretty much stock. The 2500 is just a 350 auto 4x4.

correct me if i am wrong but something i have noticed no one ever fixes up a long bed chevy most are the short beds. personally i wish mine was a short bed but i don't really feel like sectioning the bed and frame to make it a short bed.

chevydog66 07-31-2008 09:41 AM

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 
I like the long beds, only if they are a standard cab, like my 72 GMC. Long and low. I think the short beds look good behind a extended cab.

agreed. Extended cab longboxes are too long and just look funny. Crew cabs, in my opinion, kinda vary, depending on the truck. Crew cab shortboxes look nice, IMO, though. Same with Crew cab stepsides (ever seen one? doubt it. There's one floatin around town here, white, 2WD, with some Cragars on it). I would really like to find a 96-99 crew cab shortbox, especially a half ton Z71 shorty-crew. Now those are fairly rare. I think most regular cab shortboxes look goofy too, unless it's lowered, lifted, or a stepside. These trucks usually either look goofy, or look real good. Thats fine though, breaks up the monotany. Hell, unless they're hacked and cheesified, I like most of them. Just like 67-72s, almost every one of them looks great!

Here's one for you. It's for sale here in Nashville. Eight lug wheels, 454. I guess the bed is just a simple swap?

Yeah. I don't believe any crew cabs were released with stepside beds. There was no practability to them, really. Look nice though. I would actually get a kick out of that one, an 8 lug with a big block... would be fun.

I got that pic off the wheels and deals website, but I have seen that truck in my neighborhood a couple of times. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 
Hadn't forgotten about you...went by today, to the shop where I'd seen it before, and the guy I talked to said the guy who owns the truck works there but wasn't there at the moment. I could see the truck in the yard, but it was on the other side of a locked gate. I'll give it another try sometime.

Can I ask where you got the front bumper with the fogs?

I was looking at stylin concepts and LMC trucks for one, but, I've never seen one installed on a truck.. looks sharp.

Grunion 08-20-2008 10:04 AM

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 
I have a really cool one at the shop, with 2 fogs on each side it is nicer than the one I have and you will never see another one like it. Email me if your interested and I will send you a pic Grunionfabrication@cox.net
Oh and its brand new:)

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
 
TMT - still haven't forgotten about you. I went by that shop maybe three weeks ago. It was my second time stopping by; asked if the owner (think the guy who owns the truck also owns the shop) would let me take pics of the red truck, since it was for sale. Both times, the guy I talked to (different guy each time) acted surprised when I mentioned it being for sale. There's a language barrier there, so that might be part of it, but the second time I left my phone number for the owner to call me, and I haven't heard anything. So I guess it must not really be for sale. Either that, or it is for sale, and the owner is one crappy salesman. :lol: Sorry man!

I just joined the 88-98 club, picked up a 1997 C3500 quad cab dually, 6.2 turbo diesel, everything works, needs tires, an oil change soon (it's 3000 since last) and a tranny flush sometime soon too (it's been a year or so since the last one, probably needs one within 10K more miles at least). I bought it so I could reliably pull big things, car trailer mostly, planning on getting into SCCA club racing next year and need a good tow vehicle.

Did I get hurt bad at $5500? I looked for a better deal but all the other trucks in this league/year range/mileage range were running 7K+.
