    I’ve got to give you credit on that wet sand & buff job man, that must have been a looong process but the results are great! Nice save on the truck as a whole!

    That is a very reasonable possibility I’ve recently started thinking about.

    I hate that she’s being neglected but at least she’s not wasting away outside. She’ll see pavement again someday though. OEM dash mounted cup holder Smooth front bumper I picked up Pretty sure this is supposed to be attached to something….

    Truck still isn't running but that's because in August 2021 I learned I am infertile. My wife & i tried for a year the "old fashioned" way to have a baby, moved on to 3 unsuccessful IUI's. Then we had to take the plunge into IVF which is very expensive but cheaper than adopting. We did 3 IVF...

    I'm definitely keeping the manual shift. it was one of the selling factors when i bought the truck. i don't remember off the top of my head which transmission is in the truck though. i found a local guy that deals used Chevy motors with an uncut harness & ECU for $800 loaded up. I'm going with a...

    So the 4.3 had about 300k miles on it when I bought the truck and it had already developed rod knock before I bought it as well. I knew well & good that a new motor was going to be necessary which is why I paid so little for the vehicle. My expectations were not high. With that being said I also...

    Well it’s been a while since I’ve been on. Nothing against y’all just nothing to post about until recently. I finally transferred the title and registered the truck! Finished dying the carpet black. I decided to Plastidip the faces of my wheels black. Fixed/replaced a few more minor things oh...

    Headlight housings finally arrived last week. I put them in and put the front end back together that night but wanted to wait to share until I could see it all in the sun. Boy howdy what a difference! She looks like a whole new truck. Everything fit really well, all the lights are hooked up...

    Who's got an original silverado sport?

    One of the managers at my work has an original Silverado Sport, I think. It has certain components of the Sport at least. He just got it from his grandfather when he passed. This truck is nearly immaculate. When I he brought it by work last summer it inspired me to find my own GMT400. Sent...

    Went to the junkyard the other day and scored a new dash trim panel equipped with a bed light switch. I did not add a bed light. I had a genius idea to hook up my auxiliary grille lights to this switch. It looks so much better than the aftermarket toggle switch that came with the wiring harness...

    Stupid Arm Rest.

    Any chance you still work there? I picked up some door panels at the junkyard but one of the armrests is busted.

    Had some time before work today. It’s finally starting to warm up consistently so I went ahead & removed my old headlamps in anticipation for the new ones. I also sprayed the front bumper black like the rear bumper. The only chrome on the truck will be my mirrors. I hate a lot of chrome to...

    New 91 Chevy owner!

    Great looking truck for the price!! Welcome to the forums. Have you put a decent tank of gas in it yet? It could be bogging down due to poor fuel. Also can you rev it high at all? It could be the transmission, might be stuck in first or something like that. Best of luck. I look forward to...

    Chose my wheels

    The theme of the truck will help determine that but I vote either black or polished bullet holes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    In my early 20s Plastidip wasn’t as popular as it is today so I ran a small cash business doing plastidip for people. Wheels, trim, panels, emblems, etc. and I was good at it too. Never had any streaks or runs. People constantly asked what paint I used. Well like all good things it came to an...

    A buddy with an eraser wheel came over this weekend and got all the glue off the truck from the side trim. Then I decided to plastidip the rockers and flares Mayte grey. It’s a good temporary look until I do the body work. I also made my own SS style front emblem. I didn’t want to pay for a...

    Finally got around to running the wiring harness for a pair of 3x4” rectangular auxiliary lights I had laying around. They’re wired independently to a switch so I can use them any time I want. I really didn’t want to drill any holes in the dash so I pulled the ashtray out and have the switch...

    I needed more dip so I figured that was a good enough excuse to take the truck out. She looks good wet lol actually makes the paint look decent. Haha I keep forgetting to get that last strip off the p/s door. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
