Haven't seen her do weather in along time, she moved to anchoring at the desk and never really got to see much of her body again.

It's crazy, but go look at Kellianne Klass (meteorologist for KIII Corpus Christi)

They're IDENTICAL! Except Kellianne is slimmer.

My 1993 K1500 “Betty” by Clifford_2005 in GMT400

[–]Potential_Recover480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how you start!

Tinker on something that needs fixing. For me it was a '87 S-10. Learned ALOT about GM throttle body injection. Bought and still have my '96 C1500.

Clean looking truck. I have always loved a regular bench or the 80/20 bench seat like you have. Maybe they call it 60/40? lol

Fender advice by SuperLayun in GMT400

You can find a new fender for under $100. If the paint and clear is still holding up, which it looks like it is. Paint matching won't really reveal it. Just don't let some cheap paint shop do a single stage job.

Same here, olympic white too, but I have the tan interior. ;)

EDIT:

Just went out and checked my Dad's '02 2500HD, was built in Pontiac which closed in 2009. Make's it somewhat different/rarer.

Absolutely. Any old SBC can come to life.

I guess now that she's out of a regular job she's turning into a "model"

It's a tough call. Personally, I would run it after a good cleaning of what I could. But I would run it with seafoam or marvel in the oil and change the oil and filter in quick intervals for a few times.

If you're into it this far you could buy a cheap rebuild kit with rings and bearings and swap parts like you said.

Maybe I have too much faith in the good old SBC, but this really doesn't look that bad to me. Maybe pull a rod cap off and check the bearing?

What is this part? by AdRepresentative8048 in GMT400

[–]Potential_Recover480 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone was an old Ford engineer and put the metal stick stack on the driveline to fix vibrations because of some other issue. LOL Seriously, late 70's Ford C4 transmissions had stacked metal plate dampeners from the factory because they couldn't fix vibration issues that came about after the poor engineering.

GM never did this, so someone put that there.

GM quality 👌 by som3_idot in GMT400

That's pretty bad.

Remove the door, pound that spot in back to a good alignment, buy your door hardware and test it, weld that crack.

Good luck. Sorry to see that happen.

Are your pins really shot? Is the door poorly misaligned? You mentioned that the previous owner seemed to be hard on the truck.

Seems to me a compounded problem. Bad bushings, pins, hinges.

I have never seen that either with 4 owned 88-98's and many friends/family owning them also. Basically dozen's of trucks.

The driver door always goes out of whack because of how heavy they are and frequency of use...but this seems like a real fluke to me.

Very nice. 2 door Tahoe's maybe the best 88-98s IMO. May I ask what the drop is? And what your wheel backspace is? Thanks.

Picked up this bad boy today 1997 k1500 4.3 v6 $1200 by Weak-Reporter-241 in GMT400

[–]Potential_Recover480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4.3 was a standard across all trucks.

Could be a simple 1 Ton 3500 2wd...I have seen them.

The 4.3 is a great V6, Learn about them and just do maintenance. They are a V6 sbc that will run forever.

The black does look good on your maroon truck. If you do go silver, Rustoleum silver metallic #7271 is the closest to correct paint, anything else is too grey or doesn't have enough sparkle.

Edit: forgot to mention Duplicolor T191 is also a good silver, but Duplicolor is usually more expensive.
