It's not a square, but it isn't wrecked.

1989 Sierra SLE. 350 (needs replaced), 700r4 (good shape) and 3.08 gears (those gotta go). Not the prettiest thing on earth but for $800, I couldn't pass it up. Has a couple of dents but I can use 95% of the original body panels, not a speck of rust, never been out of Texas. The little old man I bought it from bought it from his sister who bought it new. I've seen them go for $1200-1500 in worse shape and even the wrecker driver that brought it home offered me $1200 as-is.

Actually has a nice interior save for the seat and headliner. But I hate red.

Plans are for a few upgrades and fix a few things for now. Down the road will be a TPI and bigger mods.

Nice, great price too.
Seems those red seats is quite common, maybe, scrounge a Blazer or Suburban, for a counsol and a set a buckets.

Nice truck! Check out Gmt400.com for a great site all about these trucks if you didn't already know about it. It's one of shaggy sites as well....

I've been to gmt400...I wish there was a site like GMSB for these trucks. No drama, no pricks, loads of factory info.

Wish I could find something like that around here. That is exactly what I would like, standard cab short bed sportin' 2wd. Friggin south west states. You keep showing me this BS and I will have to think more seriously about taking a trip down there.

uuugggghhh same red as mine lol.

at least your armrests aint split like mine, and you have all the door and window switches.

Probably going to switch them out when I can find some Blazer/Yukon pieces so I can run power mirrors.

Whew !!! Thank Gawd !!! I read the title and just knew this was going to be a Sub Thread for the poop thread !!!

Not in bad shape at all for the age.

 

[Jims86]

Nice Find!
I may end up with a GMT 400 some day.

 

[HotRodPC]

Everyone ditching their squares I just might go back to a GMT800 5.3 truck again. Maybe I'll just get me a 4x4 and straight axle the bitch with a Ford Dana 60.


Did you ever do anything with your Burb Jim? I thought I see a pic where you said your FIL was doing something with it.

retro, you get rid of them door panels let me know man.

I could use a nice set like those to redo in black(same as I did mine) but minus the busted armrests and missing switches.
