New truck
 
I got tired of my blazer and wanted a pickup. It's a 1990 gmc Sierra. Stepside bed, 5 speed manual, 5.7 350. I'm ordering a rear roll pan, new clear headlights and a 98 grill.

Thanks Chris. Not a leak anywhere. Underneath looks mint

Pretty cool! Flip the air cleaner lid, get moar powa!

I never seen the EQ in the dash center on these trucks neither. I thought just a tape deck went there

sweetbmxrider 03-04-2013 06:23 PM

Whew, look at that thing.

chrisfrom nj 03-04-2013 06:32 PM

Lt1_8U 03-04-2013 06:55 PM

Very nice indeed! Looks like it's led a well-taken care of life before you, congrats on the purchase!

redsoxsstink 03-04-2013 07:42 PM

nice! this was in the running with the maro when i was looking for my first car, nearly same exact truck 5spd and all.

townsend 03-04-2013 08:13 PM

nice bro! just watch the clutch hydros. if it has the plastic slave, they crack pretty easy and quickly. just upgrade to the 89 slave which is a cast aluminum body if it ever happens

Lt1_8U 03-04-2013 10:33 PM

Thanks, ill check it out tomorrow, it might be metal because I know it has a metal line off of it.

My old 92 had that eq

And now I want a full size.

Jersey Mike 03-05-2013 08:00 AM

Big thumbs-up. I have a soft spot for those things! Congrats again, Jim!!

I love my '93...still a work in progress though but comfortable and reliable, hence me getting rid of my jeep to daily an older vehicle.

Love the old school dashes!

Lt1_8U 03-05-2013 10:21 AM

Nice truck! What size cowl is that? My brother has a 93 full size and I always liked it. I found this in my town and I couldn't beat the price on it. The radio actually sounds nice and clear, I may buy the Sony xplodes to replace the factory.

1320B4U 03-05-2013 10:25 AM

Thanks. Cowl is a 4" attained from LMC truck parts this past december...was trying to find a used one however all i found were fiberglass. After doing cab corners, lower door skin, repainting parts of it and new door molding all around she's coming together nicely....now i have to get a new rear bumper as this one has a little rust peeking out and putting an audio system in it (this has the cassette deck in the center....it ate my 'days of thunder' tape...fml).

Very nice, good luck with it.

can i have your old s10? lol

Lt1_8U 03-06-2013 02:53 PM

That's a nice hood.

Thanks Paul, I sold it! Lol

zraffz 03-06-2013 04:22 PM

Nice truck... I just picked one up this week with a 5 speed too but mine is 2wd.

Lt1_8U 03-06-2013 10:23 PM

Nice, what year?

donnj 03-07-2013 09:14 AM

Looks great Jim, you keepin the stepside or finding a standard bed?

1320B4U 03-07-2013 09:42 AM

Always dug the stepside look myself, although a single cab/4x4/fleetside looks great lifted.

Lt1_8U 03-07-2013 11:46 AM

I'm keeping it stepside. I just ordered the rollpan, clear corner lights/headlights/parking lights and a 98 grill
