Retro's 1989 GMC Sierra C1500 Sportside Indy clone

Nice! I wouldn't mind a GMT400 myself. My dad had an 88' K1500 for many years. BIL owns it now.

I will be honest, never in my life have I seen a 24 year old truck this clean.

Clean it off real good and some protective coating on that bitch and it would propably last you the rest of your life as far as rust.

 

[towjoe]

not a bad looking truck. I have enough peaces to build one about like it, but doubt I ever get it done

Looks like a cool project Retro can't wait to see what you do with it

 

[bucket]

Done any mods to it yet?

I think it would look good with a tan interior, especially if the panels are from a later one. '92-'94 I guess it would be.

You like that Tan? I'm getting to where I can tolerate Square Tan, but I'll never be able to like the 88 all the way thru the 94 Era Tan. 95-98, I can tolerate. The 92-94 Gray is good though. As good of shape is that red is, I'd leave that.

Yep, I usually prefer tan over gray. I actually like the red a little better, but the dark red interior with the dark red exterior is just a bit much for my tastes. I do like the '92-'94 panels best though, and I really like the cloth with the little stripes in it. I like the later tach cluster too.

I for sure prefer the 92-94 Interior over the 88-91 including cluster and door panels, but that tan in that fabric...... No can do for me. The gray is nice, but does get dirty very easy imo. Does clean well though. I had an 88 in Red, 3 93's, 2 in gray, 1 in blue, a 3 95's 2 in Blue, 1 in tan, and 3 96's 2 in Blue 1 in gray. It think that's all of them..

My 94 extended cab had the tan (outside was two tone black/pewter) and it looked great! I loved that truck.

Oh, that sounds like a nice color combo.

 

[Old77]

It was. It all went together very nicely! I was young and dumb. I should have never gotten rid of that truck

Jeep shaft mod?

 

[HotRodPC]

Yep, but it appears he modded it, or it's off a different model than we use for the squares.
