New truck!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jonboy · 08-22-2010, 03:51 PM

I picked up a really clean '89 Chevy C3500 Crew Cab dually this morning. It's red (not so wild about that) and tan, and it's amazingly clean. That, and everything works. I bought it to put a short bed on and convert it to 1/2 ton suspension. My buddy Scott was nice enough to remind me that I really didn't want to repurchase my old '81 Trans Am, and that I was a truck guy anyhow. I have been wanting to build a CCSB for a couple of years, so now I get the chance. I know pics are important, but most of my stuff is packed for a few more weeks, until we move into our new house. I plan on driving it to work tomorrow, so I will take some there.

Looking forward to pics.

Patsfan34 · 08-22-2010, 04:17 PM

I'm excited for you dude. I looked at an 85 GMC High Sierra 4x4 this morning. Been sitting a while but it's an all original 73K farm truck that's been sitting in a barn. Steering and steering column needs work and the brake booster doesn't seem to be functioning but everything else was still in working order. I hope to be picking it up next weekend. Best of luck with it dude!

joe231 · 08-22-2010, 07:47 PM

Right on Jon!!
IMO, wise choice over the car

I can't wait for pics!
How much did it cost you?

zimmstoy · 08-22-2010, 08:44 PM

subscribing!!! congrats Jonboy!!

Chionos GMs · 08-23-2010, 02:29 AM

Cant wait for pics. Sounds like a good plan too

Jonboy · 08-23-2010, 08:42 AM

I have never owned one of these before. This truck is Massive!!!! (with a capital "M" even). I drove it in to work. I think it is going to be great with the short bed on it. It is a pretty cool truck now, though. The bugshield has already parted ways, and the sleeper will be next, once I find a back glass and gasket. It needs a little love, and some of that will have to wait until we are moved into our new house. I plan on pulling the carpet out and powerwashing it, and replacing the headliner soon too. When that is out, I will dye the trim around it so everything is the same color. Anyhow, here are the pics.

If you know how to get it home, I will cut you a heck of a deal on it. Same goes for a clean bed and fenders, too.

joe231 · 08-23-2010, 08:49 AM

Wow!
That thing looks nice!!
Once again,

I'm so happy for you, almost brings a tear to my eye

Jonboy · 08-23-2010, 08:54 AM

Thanks, Joe. Scott has a short bed parts truck that is going to give this one a completely new lease on life. I think it is going to be fun, for sure.

WigglesTheHoly · 08-23-2010, 08:58 AM

damn that is a nice clean truck.

RandyP · 08-23-2010, 09:22 AM

Has an Oklahoma tag on it, that's a good start.

Looks nice man, congrats on saving another one.

Davidmichael · 08-23-2010, 09:33 AM

Wow that is a really clean truck. I really like it.

JohnC · 08-23-2010, 10:33 AM

Looks like a sharp truck to start with man. Glad to hear you are staying with the trucks, even though I know why you were wanting the TA!

GmtGmt · 08-23-2010, 12:00 PM

Chionos GMs · 08-23-2010, 12:06 PM

Thats a clean dually. IMO it would be a shame to cut it up but its not my truck

CHEESE · 08-23-2010, 01:20 PM

cochino12 · 08-23-2010, 04:17 PM

menace121978 · 08-23-2010, 04:33 PM

Shawn5488 · 08-23-2010, 04:42 PM
