1990 chev c15 sport

[jughead12]

well i finally found a truck, after looking forever, i bought one from my uncle, its a 1990 sport with a 5.7 and alot of missing parts. I have already started working on it but progress may be slow considering i dont have a steady income and i dont need the truck for 2 years as i am only 14 right now. If anyone has any questions or ideas just ask em'

To a 14 yo from a 15 yo I know the excitement good luck

my plans for the truck are:
-stepside box
-black with silver from the bottom of the lower bodyline to the bottom of the truck
-front 2 inch drop spindles
-rear 2 inch drop hangers and 2inch drop shackles
-factory chrome wheels with black centers (for now)
-headers
-cowl induction hood
-95 to 98 style mirrors
and those are my only main ideas as of now, i would love to run true duals from the headers back with 3 inch pipe and dual thrush mufflers but i dont really want a fuel cell because its already a short wheel base and i would only have about4 feet in the box.
if anyone has any ideas or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
Brad.

its a good starting point. good luck on the build. i will keep an eye on this one. take a look at my thread for Ol' Blue and you may pick up some ideas. and look at as many threads on here as you can. many many great ideas flowing out of this website. its priceless for a novice builder.

I bought some inner fenders from my uncle for $50, I will post pictures later.I also welded up some pinholes in the floorpan and painted it with a brush and some tremclad. then I cleaned my carpet. I also bought a mint steering column from my uncle for 40 bucks with a steering wheel and horn button. I put the column in but I need a rad support before I can put the inner fenders in. I also took the metal pieces off the bottoms of my seat. I will post pics of everything when I get home. Thanks for looking.

Cool truck, I have the same model, check out my thread too. You can run dual exaust, just make one side come over the drive shaft at the front and stack two mufflers side by side.

Good luck, Matt

i looked at your truck before and i love it, you are an amazing welder!!!! and thats how i will run my exhaust now that i have seen some pics of it, i was just thinking straightpipes at the time of the post...

I see a lot of potential in that truck. At this point, you can be as detailed as you want since you have plenty of time before you can use it. There are so many directions you could take it too. One thing I would do is have an end goal. You can even do short term and long term. Make a list, price it out and then try to stick to it. TRY. No matter what...no matter what, have fun!

does anybody have these wheels on their truck or what do you guys think these wheels would look like on my truck and how much would you pay if they are in good shape?
thanks.

[jughead12]

i went for it and bought them, they are centerline wheels!!! and i got them for $125!!!! Here's before and after i polished one...... tell me what you think about the wheels
also some i what i have been up to with the paintbrush

[dragginmetal]

What polish and paint did you use? Both are looking good.

[jughead12]

mothers mag and aluminum polish and rust coat gloss black.
the polish isn't as good as I'd like it, my dad said he is gonna get me some 3m stuff.

[jughead12]

i am getting my parts truck home tomorrow, progress should speed up a little...

[jughead12]

okay so a little update here, i junked my parts truck, sold my wheels because i didn't like them (and i doubled my money and then some) and i stopped working on my truck because portable garages and nova scotia winters don't mix. now i have time to think seriously about what i will do to the truck next summer. first of all, i want to get the interior finished. since my door panels are crap, i was wondering if anyone has any pics of 95-98 door panels with the 88-94 dash?

[dragginmetal]

Here's one i have saved. They don't match at the dash, but its not too far off.

Nice start on a project truck. Keep up the good work.

[jughead12]

thanks.

Wow nice find! From a 14 yr old to a 14 yr old I feel how hard it is to pay for all this, I have a 90 Chevy stepside that needs about every body panel but a fender and hood! Good luck!
