My 88 silverado in the works

tylerlayne · Apr 27, 2016

I bought this truck a couple of months ago with a bad engine knock for $450. The truck has a 350 tbi. It took me awhile to find a replacement engine but last week I finally got one so now I'm really syked to get it going. It has the original black metallic paint and is a very clean truck rust wise. It had some around the rear window that I repaired. Started repairing small dents on the passenger side. Looking forward to getting her running.

nice truck to start with, especially for the price. Good luck finding any interior parts, seems like any red interior is impossible to find in any good condition, I've been looking forever for a bench. Blue is everywhere, but re is a needle in a haystack. I've got those same door panels and need a door pull and been looking for 2 years, so if ya happen to find one, would appreciate a note back.

Good luck, with the build

I will keep my eyes open for a door pull. I guess left and right are interchangable?

Exact opposite here red is a dime a dozen not too many blues

Tyler - that'd be great thanks, same in return, should you need anything

And THZ71 - how funny is that, if you need anything blue, let me know, maybe we should source for each other and meet in the middle to swap...lol

A lot of red up in new england too. Should've caught me 2 months ago I parted a c1500 with a red interior.

Also Tyler its funny, my '88 has the same door panels and the same crack in the vinyl on the arm rest on the door haha.

I had redone my 94 blazer. When i couldn't find the color, i just painted it to mstch. LMC has great paint products. A few steps to it, but the finished product came out great. Good luck.

right on id say its looking pretty good for the price.
gmt 400's are a dime a dozen at the wreckers around me, but none seem to be old enough for the same door panels.
