Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Thanks guys.

If my wife didn't drive the Limited, it would have already been dropped

I've been searching forever for a Limited front bumper for my 2 door. They're basically impossible to find though. I've always wanted a 2 door with the Limited bumper and fog lights.

Chevy dealers still sell them new, but even a hook up price (unpainted) they are still 450.00.

My next plans are getting a grill and smooth front bumper painted black, with a black chrome speed mesh insert.

When I found my 2 door on Autotrader, I called the dealership and actually had to ask them twice to verify it was a 2wd.

Sure enough, I drove right down there and it had been sitting there for over 2 weeks. The salesmen said not even 1 person came down to look at it

Hey Ghastlyone, what are your plans for the hood on the 2dr?

I just bought a steel Reflexxion cowl induction hood. It's getting painted at the shop right now. Hopefully I'll have it bolted on in the next couple days.

The story of how I screwed up my perfect factory hood is embarrassing.....to say the least

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

lol alright, here's what happened....

My intake manifold was leaking. I get home, and pop the hood to check things out. I wanted to see if it lost a lot of coolant.

I shut the hood just enough so it's closed, but not latched. Not even the safety latch.

I figured I'd let it cool for a little while then recheck the coolant level, etc. before I leave again.

I come back out a couple hours later, jump in my truck, start off down the road and next thing I know....the hood pops up. Bent the crap out of it.

It looked terrible.

I couldn't believe I did that. First time I've ever done something like that. I felt like such a dumb ass.

So my wife asks me "you did that on purpose just so you could buy a cowl induction hood huh?"

lol

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Here is my latest addition. It's a '92 Sierra. I bought it off a buddy of mine that used it for his construction company. It's nothing special, but the price was right and it runs great. I changed the grille, new windshield, tinted the rear window, wheel well trims, dual exhaust and wheels. Just basically cleaned it up real good. Here is before and after pictures.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

It's a huge improvement, but with that wheel and tire combo, it's begging for a drop.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

haha yeah i know, everyone keeps telling me to drop it. I plan to actually use this truck as a truck so i dunno if i will or not. I did lower the front 1" just to give it a lil redneck rake lol.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Just because it's dropped doesn't take away is usability. Go for it!

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

actually it does. This will also be my camping truck, and out in the mountains here, you need all the ground clearance you can get. I know what you mean tho. I do have a spare set of bags laying around. Maybe i should bag it, then i can raise it up when need be, lol, damn, now i'm talking myself into it.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

I miss my 1992 GMC standard cab step side. It had a tuned port motor out of an 86 vette.

One of the funnest trucks to drive I've owned.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Got my Cowl Hood hooked up! Next thing on the list is removing the trim, and the getting a painted smoothie bumper and grill shell, with black chrome speed mesh inserts....

I haven't posted for a while, but just wanted to show my 88 work truck. Runs on propane and has a 327 from the mid 60's......she's been real dependable over the last few years
