Hello folks
In the midst of a restoration on our deceased sons pride and joy. Its a 91 Silverado K1500, RCSB stepside. Slowly putting it back together using a lot of the parts that he had collected and some newer additions that I'm sure he would approve of. I'll be checking in here regularly to see what help i can find. Looks like a great place to get info and meet some great like minded people.
Cheers
Jim

Welcome to the forum. Sorry for you loss, I know how it is, we lost our oldest son, in 2015. You will find this forum, very helpful, with a ton of knowledge on these old trucks, and grate people here too.

Thanks Kennythewelder. My condolences to you as well, it's not a club that anyone wants to belong to. But restoring "the stepside" will keep his memory alive.

I don't have a lot of good pics, but here is what we started with and a few showing some progress on the body. The truck basically needs everything, but we're getting there.

Sorry for your loss!

Looks like a great project - are you sure it's a 91 and not an 89? those headlights, and maybe the dash, scream 89, unless he/you swapped the composite headlights for quad sealed beams (88-89 only). The 88 had a black dash and switches while 89 - 91 was gray. Either way, enjoy and, if there's anything we can do to help, feel free to ask!

Thanks for the warm welcome Peter. It is a 91 silverado for sure and it has always had the quad lights. I did buy an 89 GMC for parts and the grill that is in the pics is out of the gmc. I have thought about switching to the composite lights but that would require different sockets etc. Anyways it is what it is Thanks again.

Hello and welcome from Muskoka.

Thanks for the warm welcome from Muskoka. Ironically i was wearing my "Muskoka" jacket this weekend. We were up in Bala last fall and bought a couple of nice jackets from one of the touristy shops
