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.

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.

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.
