1989 Chevy Silverado – David L.

Well to start off I would featuring a 1973 Ford F100 Ranger that my old man left me when he passed away in 2003. At that time I was only 16 and being young and foolish, ended up putting it upside down in a ditch. In 2007 I was still without a vehicle, the opportunity came up to look at this truck for sale. I checked it out after work and made a deal. I snagged the truck for $1800 cash. Over the years I’ve been able to keep this 89 step side Silverado in pristine shape. I’ve done almost everything I can think of to this truck without just dropping in a Ls1 or Ls2 swap. But that plan is still on the drawing board just not right now. (Would appreciate any info on this swap would be appreciated)Ive had it repainted original Red and retrimmed it black on black , blacked out interior, black Bmw leather bucket seats, infinity speakers, Jvc deck with kenwood 700w amp, Grant Black steering wheel with custom DC shoes horn emblem, Added 2014 Silverado badges , added the Moto metal 20 rims on 33 mud tires, Rancho 4″ lift kit, Procomp shocks , Single chamber Flowmaster mated with Flowtechs Shorty tubular headers, Edelbrock Tbi Performer intake manifold , Holly 670cfm Tbi, Volant Cold Air Intake, Jet Stage 1 chip, A/c bypass pulley, stock 700r4 transmission with shift kit. I’ve never had it dyno’d but it’s a quick truck for its size,but with all that stuff it doesn’t have the thump this truck deserves so that’s why I’m looking at Ls packages or maybe a 383 stroker build.

Through LMC I have purchased so many items on this truck from interior carpet kits, full wrap black on black trim kits, both upgraded turning lights and smoked taillights and much more to come. Thank for allowing me to share my story.

Thanks LMC
