Nice job! Righteous work. I just had my 1989 Chevy C1500 Silverado (which I bought new) restored and should get another 33 years out of it. (Hope I make it that long, I'm 73) Next, I'll be juicing up the stock 5.7 engine with a cam and probably the Edelbrock ProFlo 4 system. Good Luck with yours.

I own three standard cab OBS Chevy pickups, one of which was my first car (almost ten years ago now) and is about to go in for a frame off restoration to original condition. Thankfully the rust up here is nonexistent, so it should be all cosmetic unless I come across some electrical or mechanical issues I haven't found yet.

What kind of paint did you use? If it’s that rubber undercoating be very careful because rocks will chip it and it’ll start to peel and water will get under it and sit and completely rot out the frame without you even realizing it’s an issue. Happened to my ranger and the body still looks great but the frame is thrashed. Look into Fluid Film. Some places apply it but you can just buy it at home depot. It’s the best stuff I’ve found to keep off the rust. You do need to apply it more often but it’ll save your frame and your pocket in the long run. It looks like your in snow country so salt is even worse with that rubber undercoating. It’s fun living in the rust belt haha. Hope this helps.

Then in 1989, the shorter fleetside box became available on the extended cabs. In either 1991 or 1992, the stepside box became available on the extended cabs. 1990 was the first year for the long horizontal headlamps in the deluxe grille which replaced the dual glass ones on the 1988 & 1989 year models.
