That sure seems like a long time ago now!
I remember a dude in my hometown having a 89 full size dropped and on Indy Champ 500 wheels and 50 series tires back in 89. That truck was so badass to 16 year old me, even though it was dropped on heated leafs and cut coils and quite obviously drove like crap.

The pastel colors and/or EKG graphics never really appealed to me. I think almost every non-stock fullsize GM truck and "cal-look" air cooled VW was rocking that look in the late 80s-early 90s.
