White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

Hello all. Just bought this pretty clean '88 Cheyenne from my brother for a steal. It's nice to have a truck again. Currently going through the trans (TH400). I'll try to get some better pics soon

Side note: I'm currently trying to decide if I should keep the stock grille or go with the sealed beams.

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

You do have sealed beams just dual style instead of quad.

So how goes things with the White Tiger?

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

Got a bit of an update. Transmission is back in, drives great, really nice to be behind the wheel of a truck again. On a side note, what is the difference with the 1988-1998 ext cab and 1992-1998 standard cab lift spindles versus the 88-91 standard cab spindles. And where do I find spindles for an 88 standard cab?

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

Far as I know, the 88-98 spindles are all the same, as long as they are the same weight classs (ie 1500, 2500, or 3500)

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

the early ones had a thinner brake rotor thickness, which used a different spindle. (88-91)

i believe you can just update to the later spindles, but you will also need new brake parts.

What color is this? I don't think its quasar blue, but I love this color. Does anyone know a name or color code? I'm fairly certain its a factory color.

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

I do not know, but I like it. Do you have access to look at glove box and get the paint code?

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

Not really, I was hoping there would be someone on here that did though

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

1988 is pacific blue metallic
1989 is ice blue metallic
1990 to 1991 is smoke blue metallic and catalina blue metallic
1992 they added bright blue metallic
1993 went to light quasar blue
1994 alantic blue metallic, indigo blue metallic, light blue metallic, and teal blue metallic
1995 to 1998 indigo blue metallic and light quasar metallic
hope this helps it is not light quasar because my truck is that color

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

As far as I know, all the trucks I posted were 1991 models. So I'm leaning towards catalina blue. Was it ever known by other name? I'm finding Bahama blue metallic a lot. That color code is WA9656. Does anybody have the codes for smoke blue or Catalina blue?

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

looks like medium blue WA9222

this might help

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

Bahama blue is lighter than the 3 pictures you posted. I know for sure because when I repainted my '79 K10 it was with Bahama blue metallic and arctic white.

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

Would you happen to have pictures? The stepside I posted is apparently a color called bahama blue, it may have a slight difference in shade from the top two. I knew a guy in high school that had a truck this color, but that was then, too bad I couldn't ask him.

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

I finally got around to putting on a grille guard I've had laying around for years. It was gifted to me back when I had my 1998 GMC.

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

I'll have to see if I have some in my archives somewhere. That stepside is darker than bahama blue.

Re: White Tiger '88 Chevy
 

It's a good possibility, ideally I'm going for the color of the top two, really the whole look of the one on the right.
