Thanks guys for the welcome!
I actually already checked out the 92 Sport write up at www.purestockauto.com. Thank you Rich for making contact I will definitely reach out with a few questions soon and be getting your decals!
I also found a couple recent writeups about 92 Sport trucks on barnfinds.com.

I've have been driving it off and on the last few weeks including a 150mile round trip along the interstate using cruise control and AC. I am still very impressed it does not drive like a 30 year old truck. This truck must have been assembled on a Wednesday
.
The first two things I'm going to tackle are the exhaust and sound system.
My father in law had his mechanic buddie 'fix' the exhaust during covid. He might be a mechanic but he ain't no welder. I would call this a bubba special.
I want to do a complete exhaust replacment including headers. I'm not looking for crazy gains, im keeping the 350tbi stock. I just want it to breath proper and sound nice.
This truck literally fell into my lap I'm not trying to break the bank just do her do her proper.
Sound system
I like the look and functions of the Retrosound M2A however since I already have a dealer installed tape deck in the dash I'm considering installing a new Sony DSX-GS80 head unit. It's a powerful little 4x100 head unit that has its own amp and sounds great in single cabs with good speakers. However, Crutchfield says it will not work in our trucks
"Installation notes:
This radio's built-in amp is too powerful for the harness that retains your vehicle's factory amplifier"
I don't know if this is a generic response or specific for our chevys. I might find out.
Again thanks for the welcome. I will be starting a new thread for the truck on the 'Offroad Build Thread' sub soon.
Meanwhile I'll be lurking, researching and asking the occasional question that I'm sure has already been answered here at least once.

Rare Sport Optioned 1992 Chevrolet K1500 4×4
Have you ever looked around and realized a particular vehicle you used to see everywhere suddenly seems more obscure than it used to be? That's how it is with this era of Chevrolet pickup for me. These K1500s were extremely popular when new and seemingly everywhere; while you can still find them...
Rare Sport Package: 1992 Chevrolet Silverado Pickup
Oftentimes, when we find an owner hawking the virtues of a vehicle with limited production colors or cosmetic add-ons, it can lead to some eye rolls or should shrugs. But every now and again, a limited production model with these features and then some pops up that actually looks pretty special...
