91z71 · 03-31-2015, 02:48 AM

Have this picture in another thread, but thought I would post itt again soon. It is my 91 1500.

**rs74** · 03-31-2015, 11:12 PM

Might as add the 93 I picked up today. Brought it home and gave it a bath and put my spare wheels on I had setting around. It was filthy. Still cleaning on it.

J-Rod · 04-15-2015, 06:49 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys!!

Got a really good deal on some 2015 takeoffs. Not sure if I like em on the truck yet or not, I might put them on the Tahoe later. What do yall think ?

**special-K** · 04-06-2015, 08:06 AM

^^^ Those were pictures by the seller back in December. Here it is as of yesterday. Startng to feel like my truck now:

**Palf70Step** · 04-06-2015, 06:07 PM

That definitely helps!

jlsanborn · 04-06-2015, 07:59 PM

I used to have a big barn door Burban and miss it. Looks good man, love the caps!

**Boog** · 04-06-2015, 08:26 PM

Tim. You bought a gas burner? WTH?

jbclassix · 04-06-2015, 08:34 PM

Tim, the square style caps are a neat touch!

**special-K** · 04-07-2015, 09:46 PM

Thanks. I had put this wheel and tire combo together on the '92 K3500 I retired last June. I had put them on the fall before. I sand blasted, etch primed, and painted with rallye wheel paint. That was a GMC, so I had GMC hubcaps. Now that that's gone and I have this Suburban...bingo! I had to come up with some nice Chevy hubcaps and I had the idea to paint the wheels dark like the grille. It finally got nice enough out when I had some time, so I painted them. The color came out darker than expected. The plan was to paint the grille, too, but I wanted close to stock as possible. I also wanted to paint the flares white to blend them in. I just didn't like anything special about it as it was before. It's been the most mundane non-descript boring nothing special vehicle I've ever had up till now. I'm not in any hurry now to paint any of that other stuff.

Cape Codder · 04-07-2015, 10:16 PM

Just to show how the work truck grill looks with bright silver on white.

**special-K** · 04-08-2015, 06:05 AM

I like that. Brightens it up without looking far from original. The wheels look good with that red

**special-K** · 04-08-2015, 09:49 AM

Here is the only picture I have of the '92 with the 255/85s on Accurides:

J-Rod · 04-10-2015, 09:35 AM

My newest ride. 93 Z71. Only 137k miles.
Added some 16x8 Centerline wheels & I also put a 2015 Z71 Grille emblem on the glovebox door. 98 style grille is on the way.

I like that shortbed! That thing is clean!

x2, looks nice & clean...the Centerlines look good on there as well

**special-K** · 04-10-2015, 10:13 AM

Heck yeah! Instant nice truck. I wanna get me a shortbed

**special-K** · 04-15-2015, 07:58 AM

Yes and no. It's not that they look so bad, it's that the Centerlines look so perfect. That wheel would look way better on a Tahoe anyway... IMO

I agree. The old school feel of the Centerline wheels fits the era & look/style of the truck better IMO.

J-Rod · 04-15-2015, 01:40 PM

I like the look of the Centerlines better but they ride like crap. Not sure if one is bent or the tire shop did a bad balance job, but it doesn't ride good at all.

The Tahoe has some factory 2011 18" Z71 wheels with the white letter Bridgestones on it that I think I will swap with the 20's. More pics to come...

Cape Codder · 04-15-2015, 10:07 AM

I think I am liking the new wheels. How does the Tahoe look with the Centerlines?
