'89 Silverado 1500
So I'm new to the forum and I figured my first thread would show everyone my truck!
It's a 1989 Silverado 1500 SWB with the 5.7L and auto trans. It's my DD and I've had the truck since I was 15. It has a ton of miles on it (275k+) but that's not stopping me from turning it into the truck it was always meant to be. It was originally black/gold (tan) when I got it, but it has since been resprayed the original metallic black. Some exterior mods are: Cowl Hood New grille w/ headlights and parking lights 18" wheels (looking into buying different ones) tined tail lights (not the ones in the pictures) new rear view mirrors misc. painted parts The interior was about 90% redone. Some of the things we did were: new headliner new carpet w/ cheapo floor mats Custom bucket seats out of a newer model Silverado custom made console/speaker box new head unit and speakers As for the engine and suspension, it is lowered (2/4) and the engine just got a tune up and cleaned up a bit. Here are some pics! http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...o/IMG_0375.jpg http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...o/HPIM1141.jpg http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...o/IMG_0631.jpg http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...o/IMG_0633.jpg http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...o/IMG_0921.jpg |

So here are a few pictures I forgot about. It's a more recent picture and a couple pictures of the tinted tails and what I have done to the engine bay so far. I'm hoping to score an LS engine and harness soon. Then the real fun begins :barn:

Re: '89 Silverado 1500
Did you use nightshaed's to tint the lights, or was it professionally done?

Re: '89 Silverado 1500
More things I forgot. Excuse the dirty truck lol. The weather has been crappy.
Tinted cab emblems... Idk if you can really tell from the picture but it's a lot darker than stock. I used 2 coats of nightshade, 3 coats of clear, and buffed it to a shine. http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...o/d1a017cf.jpg Refinished "1500" emblems http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...o/182b487f.jpg |
Re: '89 Silverado 1500
are your jugs painted silver?
they actually look really good. I painted some white once, didn't like it, saw em painted body color, engine color, and even black, never cared for any of them really. I do like the yours though very much. |

Nice truck!
Did you use a special plastic paint on the resevoirs? And how did you do the red bowtie on the oe door emblem? |

And the red was painted on using some extra base coat paint I had laying around. I applied the paint with a sponge, which turned out to be a bad idea because the sponge kept soaking up the paint and coming unattached from the handle... But I just didn't feel that was enough to use a spray gun on. |

Nice truck. It's amazing what just a few exterior changes does for these trucks.
