Talking "Maddy" 1988 Silverado 3500

Found this Unmolested Gem in "Madisonville" KY last weekend.

More pictures in my Siggy link, check out Actual Mileage

Needs a few things like a Seat, Headliner, Front Valance,
More Low, Turn/Corner Lenses, Roof Markers, and Tails.

Hoping all that Black crap will come off of these.

Re: "Maddy" 1988 Silverado 3500

Not much going on lately, drover her to SETN show...

Have logged a little over 3000 miles on her now...

Bought a Curt 13942 Hitch for her based on
the review that a few made it work on 3500.

Also picked up some new to me interior stuff.
(Just have to figure out the mounting holes)
