Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks

Hey here's my '89 chevy chyenne pickup longbed STD cab. The pics are kinda old so a lot of stuff is revamped, especially the interior.

(It's a 2500 but the guy that originally ordered it at the dealership made them customize it and make it a 1 ton. I think he did this for lower registration costs or something, but nonetheless it's a 1 ton that looks like a 3/4 ton.)

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks

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+.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

A shot of my 89 K1500 shorty after installing my junkyard found, Hellcat Centerlines, and a couple of before shots. Also found some interior stuff. Has new brakes, windshield, and KYB rear shocks. Bumpers are replaced now w/ used units I found on CL. A work in progress.

This is my '92 454 "SS". It has a 4/6 drop, shaved tailgate and door handles, smooth front bumber, cowl induction hood and billet specialties wheels. This truck has only 17,000 miles on it.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks

That's hot! How does it ride? I'm always impressed when they can lay frame, but wonder if it effects the ride. Thanks for sharing the pic.

It rides great with only about 80 psi. I can get about 14" of lift on the back, it looks pretty funny up in the air. It can be a bit boaty at high speeds too, scary if you forget about a hard curve.

I nee to ditch my ac comp. Anyone have any knowledge on how to do this. Mainly what I put in its place.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks

I like your rear bumper. Any idea how I'd go about ordering one like it? My wife's Tahoe has the chrome on with the side trim. I've removed all the side trim and put a smoothie front chrome bumper, but can't find a rear one like your's. When I tried to pull the rear trim I found it wasn't glued, but has plastic tabs that are attached to the holes in the bumper side. If I got one like your's, I'd send it to chrome, and call it good. Sweet score on the W/T!

The 'standard' bumpers were chrome with the impact strip. The cheapo's are the ones with painted smooth bumpers. Yes, it was an option, but I've seen maybe one or two trucks come factory with smooth chrome front bumper and 'normal' options. Anyways, you could find one off an old w/t or cheap truck, and send it to be chromed.

Check out #38-9776, the third one down -- it still has the step strips on top and in front of the license plate, but without the mounting holes for the impact strips. If I ever get around to smoothing mine out, this is my favorite choice for the rear.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks

Here`s my`92 K3500.I ordered it as an SLE 6.5TD,5spd,4.10s,off road/towing/camper pkgs...the works.It has a light beige vinyl bucket seat interior and I got them to let me order this fleet color,Woodland Green.I`m sure it`s the only truck with the same specs.This is when it was brand new.I had just gotten the windows tinted and had already de-badged it some.That`s the paper tag:


This is my work truck in my contracting business,so I set it up like this soon after that 1st picture.This picture was taken in`01 @ 205,000 mi:



I started doing work needing less cargo and more tool hauling,so I put this work top on it in`04:


It has been a real workhorse for me,8/07:


Last month I did some spring work (swapped spring packs with less worked and 1/2 the milage packs) and went over it for the winter coming.I hope she can keep me rollin`a few more years or five.
