Sweet Look for this 1990

[RJB44]

My next project will be to replicate this vehicle.

problem is....is this a

Men in Blackmobile?

or

Agent Smithmobile?

Black on black is awesome. I really like the black and white two tone you have on your K5 too though. Im thinking of something similar when I build something nice.

thats basically my truck

 

[RJB44]

neither... Clint Eastwood is driving

That does look like something out of a movie. Notice the valet looks like he's about to make a run for it. Foot pursuit?

 

[AJMBLAZER]

What movie is that from?

 

[RJB44]

The movie is the "The Rookie" with Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen (1990)

Kinda cool it was brand new at that shot. Some 31's with no lift a lil better than the 235's on it now

 

[AJMBLAZER]

235's were the standard tire then.

235's were the standard tire then.

Not on my 1991

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Standard. 31's were an option.

Go with a 4" lift then add 33-12.5X15 rubber

Great compromise between super high lift/off road monster and the stocker grocery getter.

Can you imagine letting someone Valet your rig, though? *shudders*

 

[andyblack]

Mine has so many quirks that no one but me can drive it without it stalling out or something. Drives the guys nuts at Discount Tire. I imagine a valet that's used to parking newer luxury cars would be quite frustrated.

That would be good for a few laughs. Get someone with twin sticks, a doubler, and SM465 to put everything in low low and then get the valet to try to park it. That guy would be ready to quit.

Here are some more photos of the Black Jimmy from the 1990 movie "The Rookie".

I think I'm going to put the moulding and trim back on mine. Looks sharp like that.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Did you keep your moulding or find a good vendor?

 

[RJB44]

I just had my truck sides redone with new moldings. I bought mine at JC Whitney. It's identical to the factory.You want 2-1/2" W X 26' L (roll) Black w/Chromed Strip Cheyenne/Silverado-style Extra-wide Body Side Molding - $64.00 ( SKU # 1JA 075950 Manufacturer Number: 38-352.) I think LMC has the same roll, but at $89.00

Good looking truck RJB.

How's it handle the rear corners? Looks like GM had a special curved piece for the rear corners.
