Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

A bunch of the Sports I've seen have been V6s.

Here's that website that I mentioned a couple post above this one...

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

I don't ever remember the Sports having V6's. I always remember them being 350's. I could be wrong though. I really wish GM had more info on these, and the Sierra GT's.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

@chevloray - much thanks for the info, it's defi appreciated!

@1badgmc - TBH, I'm more partial to the chrome center caps . . . besides, i don't ever remember seeing them on anything other than the black C1500 and the SS . . .


I don't really think I'm in the restoration field, yet - the truck just needs to be re-painted is all. Interior is still in great shape, and the whole drivetrain is still in excellent condition (no fluid leaks, even). Hell, she still has the factory charge of R12 :metal:

Thing is - I want to do a built motor/tranny and start getting into some performance upgrades. But, the only thing holding me back is lack of knowledge on how many of these trucks were built. If it's a rather low production number like the SS . . . I intend to keep the truck fully stock.


After checking out that website, I guess I'm going to have to dig through the RPO codes for the one's specific to that setup. It's looking like there was about 45-48,000 . . . if I'm reading the results correctly.

here is the Red 92 Ssport 350 that i am attempting to get my hands on.

this is the first SPORT i have ever seen that is not fully loaded! must be slightly more rare then? No AC, No power windows, no power locks. Has sliding rear window & floor vents. Body is mint. I want it realy bad. I belive it has an aftermarket edelbrock intake from LMC... and it had a chip in it, Summit racing bullet mufflers with highflow cats... true duals. Owner still has the origional rims. He isnt doing anything with it. So his Father (Very nice old man that dosnt know how to speak english) likes to "tinker" around with it. Its been sitting for something like 2 years? i think But his father goes out and starts it once or twice a week. To circulate the oil through the system. AWSOME!

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Wow a silverado with crank windows and NO A/C ????? wow..weird

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Other than no AC, I WANT!

Looks like nice ride.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

yea im itchin for it bad.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

I'm guessing that being north of the border may open up some issues that result in such a combo of parts, or a lack of them. The owner, as I read the post, is an older man. If he ordered it new, he may not have wanted the amenities that we all take for granted.

As an aside, my ex-father-in-law worked for a lady who owned a driveline business. She died several years ago, but the last car she ordered new was a '72 Plymouth Satellite 4-dr sedan, with a 6-cyl and 3 on the tree. She was past 80 when she ordered it and took delivery. It was a cheesy medium green with a green vinyl interior. She could have bought anything she wanted, for cash, but was frugal until the day she died, working everyday at her store until then. Older folks have two ways of dealing with stuff: pinching every cent until Lincoln squeals or spending what they have on what they want, it seems. They know that they can't take it with 'em and they may not want their heirs to have it, either.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

either way as a canadian built Sport... with these options... its probably a pretty rare truck. And i want it bad. lol

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Looks like a nice clean truck. Definitely weird optioned, but that can be a good thing. :D

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

i read the codes... but i only remember a few. Its got the BYP (Sport code) G80, L05,
GT5

and from what weve gatherd 1992 Sport, 350, 4L60, 4.10 limited slip... maybe the owner bought it to be quick. No A/C = a little more power? Roll up windows for less weight? lol i dunno but i would personaly trade comfort for power anyday.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

I've seen some others with crank windows, but never without a/c.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Kinda old school, ain't it, jb? Reminds me of being a lot younger and having to roll down the windows on my '56 Mercury 2-dr Hardtop, which had no air conditioning or power windows. No power anything, come to think of it.

I'm sure that running that VIN through the website that confirms production numbers would be interesting....like maybe no others ike it.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

that would be pretty sweet!

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

New guy here Digging up an old thread. found this thread posted on fullsizechevy.com just thought I'd share a little insite on the 93 Sport package. 93 was an odd ball year for the Sport package, It came with a w/t grill, diesel front bumper, and a stepside with the only way you could get a sport in 93. Also no chrome and was was only available in Red, Black and White with Red int. Also no moldings.

My 93 Sport:

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

BIG MAC,

Welcome aboard. Very nice and unique truck. I had no idea the '93s were that different.

I made some trim modifications to my '89 K1500 (non-Sport) in tribute to the Sport trucks, not to make an exact copy, but to demonstrate the "feel".

Finally got around to switching out the bumper lights this weekend. The originals were clouded badly.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Loving the grill work!!!

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

That grille is pretty slick.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Welcome to the board, Big Mac. Nice truck, and interesting info. I forgot about the Sports with the W/T grille -- you don't see very many.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Hello everyone, obviously new here. I just bought a 1990 Chevrolet Sport and I have a question about the decals on the tailgate. Most of the decals I've seen have been the red bowtie and "Chevrolet" on the back. Mine is the red bowtie and "Sport". Down the line the truck will need to be repainted and the only decals I've seen are the "Chevrolet" ones and not the "Sport" ones. I've found the bedside decals, but no matching tailgate ones. Can't seem to find em anywhere. I'd post some pics of it, but the snow is kind of holding that back.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Welcome to the forum, Dawg Pound.

Is this what you want? http://www.vinyldecalsuperstore.com/...roducts_id=256

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Thanks! No don't see many of them. My wife and I were in Maggie Valley, NC on a weekend trip about 2 years ago, and when we stopped at a redlight I looked over and there sat my truck right beside me lol. It was identical to mine at that time. Before I revamped my int.

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Your truck wouldn't to have a big red bowtie across the hood would it? I've seen a few sports with "Sport" on the tailgate instead of the "Bowtie- Chevrolet" and they all had a red bowtie across the hood. Kinda like the S-10 "BAJA" I think it was called.

Edit: I found the "Baja"

Re: Chevy Sport Truck questions
 

Mine has the red bowtie and "Sport" on both the bedside and tailgate.

Oh and no it doesn't have a bowtie on the hood. I'll try and get some pics up soon.
