added another classic to our driveway

my wife picked this up for her today, she loves my suburban, but doesnt like driving it since it has the manual trans.

89 3500, 3+3 with the 454 and the 3 speed auto trans, got a very minor rust spot above the wheel wells that i will fix, then its off to the paint booth. not a bad buy for 2500 i thought.

yes we have a thing for the 89 style front ends

here are a few pics of them.....sorry it was almost dark when we got home

(dang, looks like i need to replace a couple of bulbs on my high 5 lights)

I still think that is one of GM's best body styles. Let's see some pics when there painted up.

Awesome trucks. My wife would be very jealous, she's been wanting a truck for herself too.

Sweet rides!

Now, that's what I call "Cash for Clunkers". You can put two Prius' in the back and still be ahead!

Very nice. Best looking grill/headlights on a GM truck since 72.

The term "Heavy Metal" comes to mind! You will end up with some good pulling stock when you finish.

Dont see the 3+3 without duals very much, looks good.

How much do you think the paint job for that truck will cost? The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking at putting my 91 with the exact same bodystyle in the bodyshop for a paint job very soon and have no clue what would be reasonable in terms of cost. I'm expecting it to be all 4 appendages, arms and legs...
