They had to make that door and I am thinking they used a three door suburban for the cab ? 😍

Looking at picking it up this weekend

Our Silverado was stolen. Police said they'd recovered it, so... Good news right? We call and call with no response. This was our ONLY VEHICLE! after 2 months we finally got someone, they said we now owe $700 storage and when we got there... Look at this!

Please share this, help if you can. It's really a bad time right now.

20 Year Project: 1948 Chevy 3100 Pickup DREAM PROJECT. Armed with a sketch and some help from a famous racer, one auto mechanic set out to create his ultimate dream ride.

Having a little buyers remorse and looking for some advice from other chevy owners.
I bought my first truck at the end of April because I desperately needed one for my landscaping business. Before this, I was hauling everything I could with a Honda Accord. It’s a 2017 Chevy Silverado 4.3L V6 4x4, single-owner truck with about 89,800 miles when I bought it. I paid around $20,000, and with my credit situation, I’m at $415/month for 72 months.
I knew going in that the truck had rust underneath from its time in Pennsylvania, but I needed the truck and honestly, I really love it. It’s been a huge upgrade for the business and I want to keep this thing for as many years and miles as possible.
So here’s my question:
IS IT TOO LATE TO PROPERLY ASSESS THE REST?
I’m not talking about making it look pretty—I want to prevent it from getting worse and protect the truck long-term. I’m considering getting it professionally cleaned and undercoated/rustproofed, but I’m not sure what should actually be done first or whether some of the rust is already too far gone.

For those of you who have owned trucks from up North/Pennsylvania:

1. What would you do if this were your truck?
2. Is rustproofing worth the money?
3. What products or treatments have actually worked? 4.What should I NOT do to a truck with existing surface rust?
   I know some people are going to say I overpaid or made a bad decision, and maybe I did—but I needed the truck, I love the truck and I wanted to take care of it.

Thanks!

I got this truck about to hit 200k miles runs and drives great just rebuilt the transmission. How much do you guys thinks it’s worth if I were to sell it?

Rust free, my new project. I want to put a small block 350 in it and an automatic transmission but I don’t know what year motor and transmission to get. Budget build, I’m new to this and I need help understanding.

Now I just need to find some center caps.

Keeping factory parts whenever possible, no spray texture paint because it doesn’t look like factory.

hello, I inherited my 1972 custom 20 from my grandfather a couple years ago. i’ve been having a lot of trouble trying to find a replacement starter that matches the mount on the transmission (see picture) I initially thought that the starter from a P20 van , but the nose cap for the gear wasn’t the right size and it didn’t mount correctly. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I’d like to get the truck back on the road.

1989 chevy 1500. Probably getting up there in miles both trans and engine. What would you do?

Bought my 2022 Silverado 2500 used. This looks like a place for another battery maybe? Don’t see any other available hookups nearby?

I like little challenges, so I’ve 3D-modeled and printed some badges. They all fit perfectly. Not fancy but they will do fine for my Rust Baron. :)

Just installed new Disc Brakes with Wilwood calipers. These are stock replacement 2-pistion.
