Well, I am determined to get out there and work on my bargain of the century.
Paid $1500 from spolied kid who uncle just gave to him (he wanted a 4-cylinder rice car instead and to make his single mom foot all of the new bills for it --- apparently she agreed) Picked up this 92 Chevy Silverado Extended 5-speed 350 V8 (just rebuilt 2 years ago) with over 250K on the truck and engine.
She runs EXTREMELY strong and is super reliable. Use mostly only for hauling, farm truck etc.
Would be really nice to get some insight, information and relative cost for these projects on my truck from you guys.
Things to fix:
1.
I need to fix the passenger's side window motor (wont move already checked the wiring and new switch) -- How hard, how much?
2.
Replace headliner in truck (PO had placed flat tacks in it --- nice) how much?
3. New windshield --- Got price for $175.00 installed. Good deal?
4. Blower unit ---- All electronic controls for the AC/HEAT etc --- got power and works sometimes but probably original to truck and needs to be replaced. How difficult and how much?
5. Replace hood or repaint. Usual paint problem with these GM hoods --- Would really like to replace the yellow plastic headlights and also repaint the whole truck, but don't know how much this would cost. Any ideas?
Good things:
Rebuilt engine with less than 10K on it.
Strong, reliable truck. New tires all around --- put less than 50 miles a month on it usually.
---- Would use it more often but need to fix the window and blower and have the new AC system recharged I guess at this point.
We replaced everything else when I got this truck --- fuel lines, filters, tuneup options, new brakes, wiring, etc. It is in really nice shape, but it just needs some TLC to finish it up.
Thanks for any/all ideas and input.
