Got myself a new truck

I had a 1990 GMC stepside stolen over two years ago. Leads have come from all around us and some pictures surfaced of what looks to be it in Atlanta, Texas, but police say they can't find anything to actually put their hands on and check a vin# on.

So I've moved on to another OBS "Old Body Style" GM truck. This time, I found a 1990 Chevy Sport garage kept with low low miles. Some of these trucks had 454 motors in them.....this one does not. I knew I couldn't afford to feed one of them 454SS's at today's gas prices. Still got some things to do to make it my own style wise, but I'm very happy to be driving one of these trucks again......cannot beat that rumble of these little trucks! This one also has already got a security system alarm & GPS on it.

I had one like that a SS350. Traded it in for a new 1994 Chevy 4wd. Great little truck.

I had a 91 stepside with a built motor. It was fun to drive. The new truck looks awesome

Are you from Dayton, Ohio? The black truck came from a doctor in Warren, Ohio.......had to get it shipped down here to L.A. (lower Arkansas) :)

Dauphin Island or Fort Morgan peninsula. Then there is Sand Island ( no people live there) just below Dauphin Island. Spanish Fort is Beautiful overlooking the top of Mobile Bay

Sweet ride! I have a 94 red GMC short bed with the same wheels. They are fun little trucks and nobody has ever made a more comfortable and long wearing seat as comes in those trucks!

one of my true loves for sure , older chevy trucks
will see if i can find photos somewhere of my last one
she was so so beautiful , actually a gmc ,stepside GT model
quazar blue i think the color was called ...couldnt help but give her a second look
94 with "towing" package ...positive lock differential with very very low gearing
man would it hit 60 in a heart beat ....never spin a tire ...true rocket truck
congrats on your find sir and sorry about your loss
mine had a severe security system on it that locked me out of it several times btw :banghead

My first truck was an 88 fleet side with 350. Nothing fancy but man I loved that truck. Had almost 300,000 when I traded it and still running like a new one.

The one that was stolen is the truck of my dreams, even if there’s nowhere to transport a 7’ one piece rod. Have wanted one for many years, just don’t want to trade my first born child for one. Good luck with the new ride, it’s nice also. I’m not sure if I could bring myself to put a hitch on mine, if I ever get one. The only things I would haul is my wife and groceries.

Most of those came with a real back bumper that would tow most things within reason
