1988 Chevy Silverado K1500 4X4 Truck


Recommended Posts

Okay so this is what I got for a truck. I have a 1988 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 4x4 that I bought 4 years ago and been trying to fix and restore this truck ever since I bought it because it was in rough shape. It still is kind of in rough shape, but the engine and drive train all are great. I replaced the transmission with a new one, and the transmission has a 3 year warrenty on it, got it this year, so it's good for a long time. I still have the papers for the warrenty. Anyway I have bought a lot of aftermarket upgrades to customize this truck and give it a good look and I have...sort of I think. I don't it all depends on what you all think, that is if anyone would be interested in this truck. I can make a list of the parts, but it would be a long list. I will have to add that later, but here are some pictures of it from last year. It still looks the same, only I replaced the passenger side door. The passenger side door is black instead of maroon red. Well here are some pics, let me know if you have any interest in this truck. you can feel free to come out and test drive it. I have it parked at the end of my godfathers yard and I'd like to get rid of it before winter. Everything you see in the pictures goes with the truck, except the firesticks cb antennas. I'm keeping those and all the mounting hardware for them, but everything else goes with it. I will get new pictures later, I got more stuff to sell with it. The truck has two sets of wheels and tires, the second set is sitting the the box and they look similar and identical to the wheels that are mounted on the truck now, as you see in the pictures. I can garantee that pretty much everything works on this truck. The 4 wheel drive works, the transmission shifts smoothly, 4 wheel drive works, the engine runs good and the truck has no problem getting around. It still needs some minor work and a few parts, but I'm done with this truck. I don't want it anymore, so if anyone would be interested in a 4x4 Chevy Silverado K1500 truck, please let me know. I am starting it out at $2,500 or make offer, I am not sure how much this truck is worth, but I will tell you this, I have put about $6,000 into this truck, so I know I am taking a big loss and I am losing money by selling it, but I have to, so I hope that this helps you all see this truck better.

 

Anyway here is a list of aftermarket upgrades and parts I replaced, that I put on this truck and that this truck has:

Edelbrock Shocks front and rear, new style side mirrors right&left, wheels/rims, lug nuts, Aries step bars, polyethlene gas tank with new tank straps, aftermarket plugs and high output plug wires, new transmission&torque converter, new transmission detent/kickdown cable, new knock sensor&connector wire, new oxygen sensor, new starter&alternator, new serpentine belt, new brakes front and rear, new brake lines, new fuel lines, new fuel pump, new fuel sending unit assembly, new fuel filter, new PCV valve, AC pump pulley delete kit/bracket assembly, new/rebuilt steering column, new flashers fuse, new front brake calipers and rotors, new rear wheel brake cylinders, replaced all light bulbs with new ones, custom made fuel filler hose, new upper&lower radiator hoses, replaced heater core. That is all I can think of for now. Well take a look and let me know. As you can see, after looking at this list of parts I replaced, this truck should run and drive like new and it does, well depends on how you look at it and what you think of it.

 

Parts that this truck still needs is: a new front windshield, new wipers, new window washer fluid motor, horn needs to be fixed and connected, flywheel cover/guard, a couple covers for the interior for under the dashboard, parking brake cable assembly-the whole thing, new front CV Axles. I will be making a trip to the junk yard one of these times to get a few parts that will be easy to get and replace and I'll put them on, but right now I don't have any money, so I am just going to try to sell it for now. If anyone wants to come take a look at this truck, take it for a test drive and then make an offer on it, please let me know, feel free to contact me

Well this is all the good pictures I have of this truck for now, but I will try to go get new ones later. If you're at all interested, please let me know. I really just want to get rid of this truck. I am sick of looking at it and sick of working on it. I just want to get rid of it and not have to worry about it anymore, so if anyone wants to come check it out, please let me know

Okay so I was wondering, what would I have to do to this truck to get people interested into buying it? I know the box is in rough shape and looks like it's falling apart, I could replace the box. I was thinking of it. Would that make anyone interested in buying this truck? I just want to sell this truck. This truck would make a good winter beater or a good plow truck for it has a 2 inch body lift on it as you can pretty much see. Look at the stance this truck sits at and you'll see for yourself that the body is lifted up off the frame a bit. Anyway anyone let me know.

Looks like it could be a solid work truck or plow truck, IMO I would rip off the rear antennas, and stickers. If you could find a cheap bed to replace that one that might help it sell. Also might want to take off the running boards as they look like there falling off and maybe if you can, clean up the engine bay by repainting the air cleaner and tie up the plug wires a bit better. List it on your local craigslist or classifieds site as well if you haven't already. Good luck! pepsicheer.gif
