Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
Noticed I never posted pics of my '92 Silverado. When I first got it. Don't have a pic with original rims.
The first winter with the black grill and 305/70-16's and cranked a little so she wouldn't rub. What it looked like a month ago. And now. 3" body lift, tb crank, 3" rear block, and same 305/70-16's. Still need to do some work to make it all one color. |

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
Those Minnesota road salt treatments are brutal on the sheet metal. You've got it headed in the right direction though.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
Well, I kinda went spraybomb-crazy in September. I didn't have any money to spend on my truck, so I concentrated on making it look better on the cheap. Sprayed my billet grille inserts black...pulled off the top part of my body moulding -- the used-to-be shiny part -- and sprayed it black...sprayed my fading mirrors, windshield wiper arms, and hitch receiver...sprayed my aftermarket parking light bezels (props to 1badgmc; this is one of his pet peeves, and he's right -- they look much better black). Still have to spray my wheel wells; bought special undercoating paint for that. Also added new door emblems (props to 910506chevy) -- the most expensive thing I did to it all month. Also pulled off the fender trim. Washed it, waxed it, and grabbed the camera.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
It's the same way in Ohio. My sister lives there, and I've seen trucks newer than mine that are rusted solid.

Nope, it's got a black rubber mat on the inside, and a black plastic cap.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
Belated in getting these pics of my 89 on here, but just cleaned it up and it is looking as good as it can without a little body surgery. Traded out the wheels from a cop tahoe and they match pretty good. new Jasper 350 w/ 5 speed. Had it for years but time for it to go...Just purchased a 95 ext. cab that is sweet...Love the look of this model truck

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II
Yea, I like the "first model year" body style too.
This next year it's getting a repaint using all original colors and the stripe will be hand painted, then clear coated, so no bump. I might "jazz up" the front of the Champagne color, by curving it downward at the front wheel well. I have a friend who creates NHRA Funny Car paint designs, and assist in the shape. Photos show an earlier view, and a new photo with 360,000 miles of Sunshine beating on the paint. |
