1990 GMC

[ajp89]

Just scored this ‘90 GMC that has been sitting for a while. Unfortunately she’s a long bed, but I can’t bring myself to want to cut the frame. I think it will be a good looking truck once I get it where I want it. Fortunately she has the 5.7 and only 87,000 miles. Super solid truck with the exception of 1 tiny spot on the passenger door and the exhaust needs some work. I don’t mind that though because that gives me the excuse to make it louder. My plans are 95-98 mirrors, drop the rear 2” just to get it sitting level, 15x8’s (possibly 15x10’s but I don’t think they’ll clear) on all 4 corners, a little tint, and a tonneau cover. I have attached a couple of pictures. First is how it looks right now; pulled out of a warehouse covered in bird poop. And the next 2 are the interior after about 2 hours of cleaning. I think she has a lot of potential. Let me know what you guys think!

Good think you didn't get stuck with a short box

That interior looks fantastic!

I love it. Classic color and beautiful interior. I say dont chop the frame but then again your truck. As for the plan. Heck yeah sounds like a good starting point.

Thank you sir! I thought it sounded pretty solid. I don’t want to go overboard on it, I’d like to keep it very driveable.

Nice I’d buy that, what’s the story with how you found it?

Yeah I prefer the long box. Different strokes… Lol. Love 2-tone!

Nice! I too prefer the long box for doing truck stuff.

I had a short bed and hated it. Long beds forever!

Long bed = best bed.

Single cab, long box. All day, every day.

Looks like a great find! Maybe the truck was used for target practice at homing pigeon test range.
