Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
This is my '92 Sierra. I have had it for about a year now and changed alot of stuff, and plan for more, as money allows ofcourse. It's been a pretty good truck so far considering i got it real cheap. The first pic is a shot from shortly after i bought it. The second was from fall. The third is how it sits right now. Those are the wheels i'm going to run in the summer. I just threw em on to snap a few pics. What do ya think?

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
I like how it sits in the second pic, I'm not really digging the wheels in the third pic but if you like them thats all that matters.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
They are not my first choice in wheels myself. But i got a smokin' deal on em (from a board member actually). They are 17" Billet Specialties, and look sweet when driving, so they'll do. It sit's the same in both second and third pics, just hard to tell. I lowered the front 2" and plan for a little more, 1" front and 3-4" rear.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
This is my 1990 K 1500 Silverado which I bought back in October. It has 16" American Racing Diamond Lock IIs with 305s and I'm not sure how much lift. Maybe 4". Just a bone stock truck. It's got almost 165,000 miles which I didn't think was too bad.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
![]() Here's my '88 1500, Black and tan. It's got a little over 161K miles. It's what I was looking for: older style Chevy, black, short box, regular cab, perfect start to a 454 SS clone. I drove it home, parked it, and it died. I've probably replaced half the truck by now ![]() -battery -gas tank -fuel lines -brake lines -seats -speakers -radio -tires -air cleaner -fuel filter -every light on the truck, exterior and interior -wiring cover under hood (Hard as hell to find!!) -thermostat -center hubs -wheel cylinders -all brakes -idler arm -pitman arm And alot more. Right now, it's leaking oil like a ***** so I've gotta drop the trans and replace the rear main seals, the oil pan gasket and the oil pan itself. It's gonna be alot of work... A couple future mods are new rocker panels, new cab corners, new bed, shaved doorhandles, black bumpers, black/red grille emblem, 454SS decals, 454SS tailgate decal, soft tonneau cover, new headliner, new carpet, 30% VLT tinted windows, and the same wheels, just chromed. Here's some older pics, summer '08, before the winter came and killed my bed, rockers, and cab corners that much more... ![]() Over spring break, I replaced the rear main seal, oil filter seal, oil pan gasket, and oil pan. I also hand-sanded the grille and painted it black. Sorry, no pics.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
that aughta be cool as hell. I want to SAS mine, maybe next year or this winter, if we get a garage built (kinda decent, at about 36'x60' I think is what we are going to do), but I'm not going to go big. I want to stick with somewhere around 37-40's tire wise, leafs front, D60 + 14BFF, the stock NP241, etc, build it tough, but keep it a daily driver. Even though custom bumpers would probably be soon into the picture (27" stupid bumper laws). I think a 40" tire on a DD would be cool.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Finally signed up as I have been lurking for quite a while. Always been fond of 88-98's but love other years as well.
My wife and I ordered our '98 stepside on the very last day you could order back in '98. For some reason GM wouldn't put a 350 in the truck due to CAFE rules. They even sent a letter to the dealer stating why, and I still have it. It's got a 305, AC, automatic, 3:42's and little else. Roll up windows and manual door locks. We had planned to use it as an everyday vehicle hence the rain drip guards on the side windows, body side mouldings and the rear lid. Falling in love with the truck kept us from using it everyday. It's only got 33K miles on it and has never seen salt. We have every single piece of paperwork and the original brochure. The bed doesn't have a scratch. It's got the Hotchkis TVS system which lowers it 2/4. Cragar s/s mags, custom bent cat-back, hood pins and a chrome cup tach on the dash too for a traditional look. We kept the original wheels and springs. My everyday driver is an '01 set up similarly. I love that one too.... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Fu....
Stunning Stepside! The contours on the 88-98 series can't be beat. On Labor Day 1992, I was within an 1/8" of an inch of buying a '92 Ford (Iris colored) Flareside but the deal fell through. Thank goodness! It's cool to see someone who's fallen in love with (and taken care of) the same classic stepside lines as me. Take care of that beauty.... |

Thanks Chromer! The truck lives a charmed life. Never intentionally out in the rain. Heated garage etc. My wife is crazy about it too. She even calls it "hers".
No '92 Ford Flareside for you? How come? Too many vehicles? If that's the case don't feel bad. I have six! |

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Hey JB1016............
OMG, you found my long lost brother!!!!! Thanks for sharing the ad. I have only seen one other 94 Sierra GT for sale and it was an extended cab version for $18,000 that was located in MI. This stepside isn't as clean as mine....the interior looks like it went through hell!!!But, I do like the mods the onwer did. If I do not sell mine, it will get a 383 stroker and a 6 speed. For now, I would like to sell it and pick up a 71 Chevelle SS 402 covt that I have been looking at. Hey FU........... The Cragars look freakin' awesome on the truck!!!! ![]()
