I have been on here for awhile,have had 4 of the 88-98 trucks over the years. I love the way they run high miles and the way they look. I had bought a 90 sport new,put 275K on it . I then started running down to Tejas for a road trip/ vacation and have bought the last 3 that way.I do not like to fix rust ,so thats the reason for not buying one locally.I bought this 98 in Dallas last fall for under $3000,never been wrecked 142k miles 305,OD.Even the air works.
It went in the garage over the winter ( I drive a P.O.S. car in the salt and snow.)Sold the original wheels and tires and bought the sport wheels ,new Coppers on them and a 4/6 lowering kit. I removed the side trim this spring ,just purchased the Step Shaver kit to do this winter.
There is getting very few of these in the upper midwest that are not pretty well gone from the rust. I may try to drag another one home this fall and stick it in the storage shed.
Thanks to the folks on here that have answered all my dumb questions, and thanks to 1BADGMC for all his help.
I tried to post some pics but it says a security token was missing ???
