My "New" truck
Saturday, November 01, 2008 10:03 AM
Its a 1992 Chevy Silverado short bed reg. cab. Its got 130,XXX miles on it. Brand new tires, new radiator, starter, alternator, came with CD player pioneer door speakers, 2 10"subs and amp. Its a 305TBI and has a great magnaflow dual exhaust setup on it. Sounds nice but its a true dual setup I think i'm gonna ad an x pipe.

Here is a quick camera phone picture. I need something to drive when the integra goes under the knife. Its gonna be down from a while for major repairs. I actually bought this truck from my ex-wifes boyfriend lmao what ever its a great truck I've known him for a while and been wanting it.

^^^^ I think everybody will understand anyway.

As for the truck it looks good!! Lucky you guys in U.S have almost free gas (2$ a gallon).

It finally went down, but I drive the integra around town and the truck to work and back and when I need to haul stuff. Work is 3 miles one way lol. Plus I have yet to fill it up. My roommate got rid of his truck for a 350z and is always borrowing it to haul something. When he does he brings it back with a full tank, lol.

Nice snag, depending on what you paid of course lol. But just FYI here, a dual exhaust with an X or H pipe is still a "true" dual exhaust. Having it go straight from the header to tailpipe with no crossover pipe does not make it any more a dual exhaust, but you are a very smart man for wanting to change that out.

We have been raped for some time on the price of gas, it took the market to crash back to pre 2001 levels to get the price back down.




Nice find on the truck BTW

A bug I never really looked into, but should have, since it was an easy fix. If you put quotes in the subject line, then previewed, in certain browsers everything after the quotes got cut off.

I paid 1,000 for it. Yea, I know with an X pipe or H pipe its still a true dual. What I meant by true was its two pipes all they way back to two mufflers instead of running a Y pipe or something like a lot will. I know its still a true dual setup. X pipe or H pipe usually gives it a better sound though is the reason wanting to change it.

Nice truck also Stephen. Hows the V6 do? Mines a 305 but I've already put it to work and it did fine.

Yeah having straight pipe all the way to the mufflers has got to sound like @!#$ lol.

Suprisingly it sounds pretty good still. I can only imagine how it would sound with a good x-pipe though.

It's hard to find an older truck like that around here that is not rusted out..



An buddy of mine got lucky and picked up a 95 Chevy (like yours but green) with 127k for 1400 bucks....and it is in good shape......

Haha thanks kab00m, my girlfriend told me now I can take my dog with me. Said she was gonna buy me a big belt buckle. Everyone tells me I don't look like the truck kinda guy but for 1,000 dollars for a clean truck that runs great you can't pass that up.

P.S. You guys have any meets or anything in your neck of the woods? Haven't been able to meet up with anyone to talk cars here in FL. Couple guys I work with are in the same boat maybe if you had a few friends up there I could grab couple guys here and we could get something together. PM me if you want.

Only thing i pulled with it so far was the suburban when i bought it. It weighs about 5400 pounds though.

Btw i got my truck for $1 but i did not run. I had to put about 1200 in in to get it running.
