'92 Chevy c1500 Sport
Took a few weeks but finally landed a '92 Chevy Sport Truck. It's got 129k miles, 350 mated to a 5 speed, the BYP RPO code and is in pretty good shape. Stock other than a flowmaster in place of the stock muffler. The sport truck stickers don't seem to have made it to this point. A few dents and dings here and there but a solid truck overall. Truck runs out really well. Must be the 3.42 gear it sports. this is my first OBS, but i fell in love with them when my dad had a 94 Z71 back when I was in high school. I used to love driving that truck.
Anyway, I've got to hunt down a tailgate for it since it didn't quite make the POs collision with a garage door at some point in its life. The truck could use a good buff job. My plans are modest at this point but include a 2/4 drop with SP shocks, 20" wheels, remove that nasty purple tint, and maybe a few performance goodies (i.e. headers, chip, air cleaner assembly and true duals). That said, here are the pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: '92 Chevy c1500 Sport
Nice truck! This one is a little more child friendly isn't it? Wifey and I made quite a few trips with our first-born riding between us in the rcsb I had at the time. How is the interior and what color?

Re: '92 Chevy c1500 Sport
Thank you! I'm really digging the truck.
Thank you! I'm very seriously considering it but I'm not sure If i want to go cutting on the frame. I'd like to use it to tow a bit if needed (moto and auto) and I know i could with helper bags and 6" drop, but I'm not sure i want to go that route. We shall see!

I'm thinking on it! If only they could've stopped bumping into things. There are a few dings - on top of the hitting a mailbox with the front and letting it roll into a garage in the rear - that are already bugging me. Its nothing major and can totally be fixed if I ever painted it but the truck was take very good care of aside from those things.

As for the notch and bags, that's what I did with my 98 and I couldn't be happier. The more I load it and fill the bags, the softer and nicer the ride gets. I always have either two standup jetskis or two sportbikes in the bed.

My plans have likely changed a bit in that I'll probably be keeping the 15s. I just wish they were wider in the rear.

Re: '92 Chevy c1500 Sport
Hey Robbie,
I keep checking in for "after" pictures! Have you made any plans yet? I'd love to see this truck with spindles, springs, and a flip kit. I like the 15" rims. Glad to read that you're keeping them. Ed
