Depends what kind of bumper.. the steel bundy bumpers all you have to do is cut the inside a bit and it will bolt right up now the factory ones with the trim will bolt up fine.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Thanks ..... to be honest i think its more 3 - 5 but i'm not sure (honestly) . I just received it from my son . He's moved to other things so I took the truck off his hands . It will be a fun project for me. I still have ALOT to learn. That's why I'm here . Learn learn, did I forget to say Learn (LOL). I hope you are all ready for a rookie .

Thanks for the welcome. This forum has a fantastic community and a wealth of knowledge. I can't wait to be apart of it .

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Here is a 90 shortbed I bought late last year. It had no rust I could find so it made for an easy paint job. I added the hood scoop and two tone around the bottom trimmed off with red stripe and did the tailgate, I had to replace the gate and it was from a GMC with the aluminum strip. I removed it and decided to make my own design for it. It runs very good and has a 350.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks


1988 chev silverado 2500. tbi 350. yeah, shes ugly, i know. bought it last spring, sold it last spring, for 500 more than we bought it for. it just didnt like to go. almost no brakes. would backfire from the carb if you put it to the floor. leaky exhaust. tires were almost gone. plow was run without a blade, and needed a new spring and all new spring mounts. i think the oly good thing about the truck was the plow blade we put on it, and the restore we poured in the oil fill!

oh, and i almost forgot. i tryed to take the tires off one day...yeah, that didnt happen. it couldnt even spin the tires in gravel. old old, worn out 350. it was a 5th wheel before we got it.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

On the walk to University this week I come across this poor girl stuck in the snow. Kinda looked like it had tried to become one with the snow...
I should say that we don't normal get this much snow, this is easily the biggest snowfall that I can remember in the last 12 to 15 years.
