Hi everyone!
I've been reading this site quite a bit as I've been researching trucks, and yesterday bought one so decided it was time to sign up.
Some background, my dad has always been a GM truck guy. When I was very young his baby was a '88 Chev RCSB Stepside (totalled
)then got a 91 or 92 Sierra RCLB, and that's what I learned to drive in when I was 12 or so. We also had a beat-up squarebody as a beater farm truck. SO GM trucks is in the blood!
I bought myself a brand new 2014 Silverado 1500 RCSB when I was 20 and had finished paying off my student loans. Not the best financial decision, I still have one more year of paying for it But I absolutely love it and have never wanted a different new vehicle, and I intend to keep it forever and as pristine as I can while using it for a daily driver.
I've always wanted one of the 90's trucks that I grew up with, and been looking more seriously lately. It seems these trucks are only going to go up in value so I wanted to at the very least get hold of a truck, even if I have to wait a while before I can do much with it.
So yesterday I made the three hour drive to pick up this baby:
1993 Sierra 1500 4x4. Bonus half-shot of my brother's '11 Sierra.
Most of the panels are rusty but the frame is solid. I'll start a build thread once I figure out the right spot for one, but my basic plan is to fix it up and convert it to a Silverado with a fleetside box.
I've never really done much work on cars at all, so it will be a big learning curve. Luckily there's a ton of info here to help me out
Here's my '14 for good measure:
