Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
You had me at hello.
I would love to find a 73-89 Standard Cab Dually 4x4 or 2x4. Problem is, I wouldnt be able to afford the gas bill on one every week, plus the 1 ton parts prices if something should break.

Tell me about it. It costs me 5 bucks just to start the damn thing. Every time I pick something up in it, it's a 20 dollar bill. Fortunatley I don't drive it every day. I had a stepside that I bought to do work around the house. It was fine, but I wanted a bigger bed. Do I need a 1 ton dually? Absolutely not. But with 73k on the clock, I couldn't resist. But I always wanted one. ![]()

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
That only leads to scalded tires, and broken parts.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Here is my new purchase. my 1988 GMC Sierra 1500. Originally it was one of the trucks that was converted by Boyd Coddington Hot Rods as a partnership with the GMC truck center in So-cal. It was originally a charcoal gray with a light blue-ish gray interior. The first owner had purchased the truck and had installed all kinds of stereo equipment both in the cab and in the bed. He had added a tonneau cover to hide and protect his big speakers. He had brought the car to many car shows both hot rod shows and stereo system oriented shows. The truck unfortunately didn't get much looks. The owner thought that it may be because of the dark color gray that it wasn't as eye catching as some of the other colors people had been painting their cars during the late 80's. So he decided to paint the truck Mercedes Benz bright white. Then the truck got some looks. after a while I guess the first owner wanted something new to keep up with the times and took all the stereo equipment out of the cab and out of the bed and basically brought it back to stock. Stock for this truck (from Coddingtons shop) meant that it remained lowered (no air bags, no 4 link, it still has leaf springs), the roll pan stayed on the truck, the center line wheels remained on the truck, the billet grill, and all the emblems were also still not present and the 350 v8 remained untouched. He sold it to my mentor and best friend who bought it in 1990 with only 34,000 miles on it. He kept the truck in great shape and even updated it a little bit. Adding a newer stereo, later model mirrors, and later model seats. My buddy decided to sell it to get into a newer truck. So as of last week I bought it as you see it, with 142K miles, for 3k. I get looks in this truck. It is the kind of truck that doesn't look its age. What do you guys think? As for my plans, I want to update the headlights, turn signals, and tail lights, change the whole interior over to all black, and have the bright white resprayed as it is starting to show signs of age. I want to buy a nicer alarm system. Mechanically I really only want to change one thing. I want to put a posi rear end in it for better traction. Although it does catch pretty good with the one legger. Anything I do to this truck is only to update it. I do not want to take away from the originality and the overall CLEAN simple look. I cant help but smile when I see this truck in my drive way. What do you guys think of it? I will post better photos of it's stance and interior later.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
That's cool. A survivor. I say keep the original quad sealed beams and keep the originality. Everyone updates the grilles and lights, and you can't tell the newer trucks from the older ones.
Just my .02

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Good looking truck and it sounds like you've got some good plans for it. Beyond what you're looking to do, if it were mine, I'd find some different wheels. 4-spoke wheels just look odd to me. Some nice 17 or 18" 5-spoke wheels would set it off nicely.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
As much as I love the '94-'98 GMC grille, it's refreshing to see a truck that's been customized, but still has the '88-'93 grille.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I can see how the dark gray would more or less blend in and get lost. Bright white however is cleeannnn. I agree it needs a wheel update. Some shinded up 5 spokes will do it good. Nice history to go with it. You've got some paper and pics to go with that? It will add to the truck.
