few questions on a 90 crew cab NOW with pics!!

i almost bought a 91 with the exact same paint job and running boards. crazy.

You mean somthing like this. The only difference is this has a 4L80E

No I was thinking something more llike this:

It is a '91 & has the factory 4l80 also. I believe it is also in my driveway.

If that's a '90 then somebody has performed a lot of parts swapping. Just with a real quick glance the front grille/headlight assembly and steering wheel are all pre-'89 versions.

Somebody swapping the grille doesn't surprise me if the stock one was damaged, but somebody going to the trouble of swapping in a stock older model steering wheel?

All the 89-91 crews I have seen had that wheel. Mine is a '91 & it came with that same wheel.

I did swap it for this one though.

It's all about the options, my 91 crew cab (Cheyenne) had the 2 spoke wheel but my 91 K5 has the 4 spoke (Silverado).

I thought that too, but my '91 CC is a Silverado, & the P.O.'s are both known & claim they did not change it.

truck had a accident. a 91 clip was cheaper so he put that on. the old wheel was a tilt and very lose. he put this one in to replace it.

Assume you meant to type 81, not 91......but anyway that makes sense now.

Somebody else posted that the 2 spoke style wheel was still available. I did not realize that as all of the '89-'91 square body trucks I've seen had the newer 4 spoke deign, but the vast majority are Silverado Blazers and Subs....

My trucks twin in Red. The 1991 V3500, Crew Cab, 4x4, Silverado have to be one of the most desirable and rarest GM trucks around.

If mine had been that nice I would probably have kept it. How's the ol girl doin these days?

Yes, They are rare, I hunted for this one for over a year.

Doing good, All the clear coat has come off, I have been pricing getting it painted. It got hit by some a-hole in Springfield,IL so it needs a new drivers fender & grill. I put a new radiator in it last month. Other than that it is as good as ever.
