Hello from Pennsylvania - 89 C1500 project truck.

[Project89]

Hello from south central PA.

Below are a few pics of the 89. Been sitting on it for over a year, finally getting the bug to tinker with it. Not too pretty, but has a good solid frame and will make a good project. Not sure where I want to go with it yet, but there she is.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome. I like the old school saw blades.

I wasn't overly enthused about them, but then I got to thinking they are sort of "period correct" depending on what I end up doing with the truck. Thinking maybe a set of Cooper Cobra G/Ts to round out the wheel/tire situation for that "classic" look. Need a bunch of basics taken care of first - parking brake cables, exhaust, something to tighten up the front end (pitman arm?) - all just to make it roadworthy and to pass PA's state inspection. Then the fun can begin....

So um, you're from PA? Same here. GL with PA state inspection. #rustbelt

Hoping to get it through inspection, and then switch it to antique plates. That will make it exempt from any future safety inspection or emissions testing, at least according to the state website.

I'm going through the same dilemma. I have an 89 4.3L 5-speed 4x4, RCSB. The bed and the spare tire crossmember are shot, but somehow, the rest of the frame has survived.

Love that dual head light setup, btw.

Nice, very very nice. Welcome
