Hey dude nice truck you got there! Man, I'm in the same boat you are in! I'm 17, operating on a budget trying to restore my Grandpa's old truck he gave me back when I was 13. Its a 1989 Silverado C1500 with a 350 and 700R4 tranny. Only has 122,690 miles on it. My granddad bought brand new back in '89.
And man, do I have memories of riding around with my grandparents in that old truck. My granddad passed away in November of 2007. Now, I have the truck. Shipped it all the way from Mississippi to Washington State!
Heres the thread I made of my truck, has pics of it too in there:

So far, I've pulled some of the interior. Gonna get them recovered and i've done other maintanance to the engine. Just need to get it painted.
Good luck on your truck dude!
