He is correct, and if thats the rig for sale that he might buy it sure looks alot like Greg72's old 1988 2nd gen he sold a while back including the placement of the Colorado K5 stickers on the slider windows.

Although most of it's been covered, here is a link to the spec's page showing the changes through the years.
Spec's
89- also got the 30 sline vs. 28, as well as new base & clear coats.
[/ QUOTE ]
I've read that page probably 20 times in the last few years, I'm looking for more details. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
[/ QUOTE ]
That's cool, but some of the answers were there.
[ QUOTE ]
1. did the 89' have the power mirror option?
[/ QUOTE ]
Not that I know of, I think only X number of 91's made it out the door with them.
[ QUOTE ]
2. What amp alt. do they come with? I know that somewhere between the 89-91's that they went to 100 ampers.
[/ QUOTE ]
My 89 came with a 100 amp, and is listed in the RPO as: K60
[ QUOTE ]
3. What codes go with what gear ratio? I am pretty sure GT4 is 3.73 but I'm not positive and I do NOT want one with anything higher.
[/ QUOTE ]
This will be easier than listing Gear RPO's
[ QUOTE ]
4. Any significant changes between an 1989, 1990, 1991? far as I know the 3 years are about the same.
[/ QUOTE ]
Anything other than those listed on the spec's page? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif None that I know of. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
[ QUOTE ]
5. ANything I need to know to stay away from with those 3 years besides the usuall cracked frame at the gear box, hard rolling up rear window, govlok...basically the same stuff that effects all the years.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hey, my rear window works fine.. /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif Nope, I think it's pretty much those problems mentioned... same animal with a few differences.

I'm not sure if it is or not, where is it located? Do you know the guys name who is selling it? The person who Greg bought it from is also the person who bought it from Greg. Go figure, he needed to sell it when he left the country and when he returned after Greg and i fixed a few things he wanted it back.

I personally think the electric mirrors are ugly as hell. I work with a guy that has a 91 with those mirrors and they really don't fit this bodystyle well at all.
I think if you look at a rig with electric mirrors, ditching them will be the first idea in your mind.
[/ QUOTE ] Function befor beauty is my thought. Somethings that look good to me, may not look good to others. It's all about if the buyer likes them or not.

What for you ask? For looks of course! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif And a better ride also. For the first time I saw a 3/4 blazer in town besides me. /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif Need to do something else. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif
Nah, but really 4 link looks awesome and rides a lot better. I plan on hauling this K5 down to Pismo every once and a while and the 4 link would really help out on those hard landings coming over the top of the dunes. As far as the paint I plan on painting the truck silver like planned(maybe with some air brushed dark silver ghost flames) and match paint the entire suspension silver also except for the link bars going to the crossmember and trac bar which will be chromed of course. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif I plan on taking the front bars back to the t-case crossmember, building a much stronger, better crossmember, and running same size tubing to the rear for traction bars. And you thought you had project bling going on. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
I will get to the interior as planned, hopefully. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Also for the better ride and better for high air landings.
I can probably do it for a decent price. All I need is all the steel for the links and mounts, heim joints, coils, what ever it costs to have the parts chromed and powder coated, bolts, etc... I don't want king coilovers or anyhing like that, those look funny to me(and too expensive). I will probably use Ford f150 coils or something.

sublmnl1990
1/2 ton status
My sub is a 1990 and its a GMC the only options it doesnt have are the power mirrors and the rear defoger, Its funny cause I put my mirrors where I need them and dont have to move them for a long time so not having them would not have had any meaning on not buying the truck. I am sure if you really wanted to you could add them, When I am looking for something I try to stick with the main items that arent or that I would not think I needed to change right away. Like the engine, transmission, trim package etc.... steros tires and that sort of stuff I dont concern myself with because no matter what it has on it when I buy I would probably want to switch out to give the truck my own look or sound. just my .02
