Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Belated in getting these pics of my 89 on here, but just cleaned it up and it is looking as good as it can without a little body surgery. Traded out the wheels from a cop tahoe and they match pretty good. new Jasper 350 w/ 5 speed. Had it for years but time for it to go...Just purchased a 95 ext. cab that is sweet...Love the look of this model truck

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Yea, I like the "first model year" body style too.

This next year it's getting a repaint using all original colors and the stripe will be hand painted, then clear coated, so no bump. I might "jazz up" the front of the Champagne color, by curving it downward at the front wheel well.

I have a friend who creates NHRA Funny Car paint designs, and assist in the shape.

Photos show an earlier view, and a new photo with 360,000 miles of Sunshine beating on the paint.

Yea... I'm putting on REAL paint next time..... I used a razor blade & removed the clear, since it was lifting....

(How do you like the ladder rack I fabricated?) You barely notice I have ladder racks. I can strap anything on them. It's extruded aluminum that curves with the top.Only 1 1/2" above the shell surface. 3/8" S.S. bolts through the double laminated w/ honeycomb roof. I can put a 40' extension ladder on it ..no prob.

My wheels..... I powdercoated them when I got them, they were polished aluminum, but I didn't want the chrome look. The wheels were the ones that look like truck wheels.

I will buy "fancy-shmancy" wheels when I get a low-rider '71 Caprice.
