I traded a 94 Nissan pickup in for this beauty....I think the dealer had no idea how well she runs....so his loss....

I have since replaced the rims....new tires....

Just got her out of the body shop last week....and some woman rearends me....oh well I hated the bumper the previous owner put on....so I get a new one.

I PLAN to put a 4bbl intake and carb....new headers....flowmasters....fresh paint job....

This is how she started and tomorrow I'm taking pics of her current state

This is the best part....the interior is in perfect shape...

Here are some pics....after the body shop....

And my son going over her with a fine comb....

 

[mjrjr]

And more..

 

[mjrjr]

One more....for now...

No I had two....this one and an 85 in horrible shape....I was parting out the 85.....I got it first...and was going to fully resore....and a friend called me and told me about the 89 for sale at a dealship....and I went and got it...and decided to part out the crapy one...

Well to make a long story short...I got off the 85 what I needed...and gave it to my body guy....and he only did my body work for $200....and he is doing my paint job for $800....

I say not a bad deal because the guy does excellent work...my father-in-law has a 68 Chevy Corvair in his shop now and it is looking sweet...

I just got the money from the rear-ending....and I have a friend who can get me good prices....looking into a new chrome bumper....new chrome grill assembly....Haven't decided weither to get a chrome grill....or paint a plastic grill the same color as the paint job....any thoughts...

The paint will be the same color it is now....I like the blue...

I also thought of painting the grille black to go with the black side trim....

I just bought my new grille pieces....I got them dirt cheap....paid $280 for new rear bumper...grille surround....chrome grille...chrome left and right head light pieces....chrome tail light set....

And here we are getting ready to spray in my linner...

 

[mjrjr]

And after we finished...the linner

What I'm going for now...is a nice looking truck...compared to what she looked like when I got her....I will be doing all of the show truck mods in 2 years when I graduate and have a job making 6 figures....then I'll have the cash to have her done professionally...
