Hi all, New from Oregon!
« on: August 31, 2010, 11:45:15 pm »
Just recently purchased a 1988 1-ton. 3+3. 4-wheel drive.  While I was looking for resources on the interwebs I found this place!

I have had this truck for less than a week.  i spent over a month looking at different trucks in the same era.  Just as i was about to buy a '78 stocker i saw this one.



the paint needs a little help, but the body is fairly staright and i could not find a spot of rust anywhere on it.

interior is pretty nice too. One rip in drivers side of the seat and the dash mat is cracked but i have never seen one that isn't!



I'm just excited to have a strong platform to do some work and make it nice! Slowly (I am still in college at the moment).

Sweet truck! My next Chebby is going to be a Crew Cab. What engine? If you say 6.2 I'm driving across the country to steal it!  ;)

Those General AT2 tires? So far, how are you liking them? My K10 is going to need tires. I'm already running the 31" E-rated tire on my Dodge with good results. Just wasn't sure about the wider counter parts.

it has the tbi 350, and they are older Pro Comps.  I like them so far.  It isn't going to be used off road much, mainly my daily driver.  (I drive less than 6 miles for school and work)!
