Chevy Sport Truck questions

[BIG MAC]

Loving the grill work!!!

[1badgmc]

That grille is pretty slick.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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.

Saw this thread come around again and remembered I saw a picture of mine a while back, so I dug it out. Mine was a "beater truck" sad to say...I always like to have at least one work truck in my stable, and at the time all I had to drive was a Mitsubishi Eclipse, which doesn't handle 8 foot 2x4s or loads of gravel very well.

I know I have a few more pictures somewhere, but from what I can remember it was unusual in that it had a V6, chrome front bumper, 5 speed manual and I believe either a full bench seat or a 60/40. Definitely no console or buckets. Interior was the same color red as the 454 SS.

Interesting to note (I didn't read it so far), as delivered, the 454 SS had black center caps, the Sport models had chrome.

[Kurt3]

Wow as if someone is using the pictures of our sport lol

[89muscletruck]

funny the "free" history report says that the truck is a 454SS after the seller description boldfaces the fact that its a sport.
Damn I hate people who do this sorta crud....
oh and checkit

As mentioned before if it spent its whole life in OH and MO before moving to new york why does it have Ontario plates? Jeese and apparently a couple of bidders cant read....

[Ol'Rover]

i reported it... but they haven't done anything yet. That is my old truck. Someone is going to be super pissed when they lose all their money.

[jb1016]

Wow...no wonder the price was so good!

[90Sport1500]

Its a Split seat not a full bench and thanks nova is different, thats a old picture it has a 4in hood on it same color though in the picture. And thanks for the welcome.

[JohnC]

I saw a Sport for sale at a small car dealership in OKC yesterday. Didn't get any pics though. If I get a chance I'll get back up there and snap one.

[JamieB]

I've got questions! i bought a truck the other day and i cant find anywhere anything like it to compare it to so i was hoping someone could help me out....

1989 chevy reg cab swb fleetside truck, 4x4 SPORT, white-exterior w/ tan-interior, oem black fender flares, black grille, black bumpers and black mirrors w/ black and red emblems!

the reason im so flustered with it is because i can find 2wds in red black and some white but i can not find one like mine! could someone please help me out with how many was made and what something like this would be worth?

and yes its a true sport checked all codes in glove box and it even has the list from the assembly line from fort wayne assembly on 6/6/1989.

it also has pw pl tilt and sliding back glass

I wouldn't say it's rare to the point of being extra valuable, but it's still pretty cool. There was a guy I went to college with who had a white 4x4 Sport. So does yours look like this one, only white?

[TennesseeZ]

What a coincidence! I own one just like that, exept it had been repainted red when I got it. I discovered the true fa ctory color (black metallic) by removing some interior trim, and was just a few minutes ago showing my wife and explaining my plan to return it to black when it's time for paint. Than I come in and find these pics, suprise suprise!!
She looked at them and agrees that is the color it should be. Thanks!!

[jb1016]

What a coincidence! I really like your truck, and I think it would look good if you go back with the black.

Here is what I believe is an example of a Silverado optioned truck with the optional sport suspension package. I have one also, but mine is a sport side. Note the wheels are painted and not chromed. The pic was posted by user "zz3guy" and he said it was taken in 1991.

[nodice333]

thought i would chime in, just bought this original 94 sierra gt from the original owner, still have the window sticker and all the dealer papers

Those unpainted wheels were common on base models and police / military vehicles painted either grey or black as well- from about 1989 and up. In 1988 the base wheel was still the good old Chev rally wheel... In my experience most of the Silverado's from that era with the sport suspension had the chrome wheels like that -
