    I have for sale a fairly custom 1990 454 SS pickup with 44k miles.
    A friend of mine bought this shortly after graduation and immediately customized it, as the custom street truck fad was in full swing early 90's.
    It's not going to be built to everyone's taste, but it's a nice clean truck.
    My friend passed away about 17yrs ago and it sat in his Mom's garage. I rescued it last fall and brought it back to life.
    It has never seen salt, it's very clean underneath. It has headers and true dual exhaust, 17" centerline wheels, was changed to this color when nearly new.
    Nice red Interior, only downfall is saggy headliner. Has red Buckets and console.
    Would trade even for a similar stockish shortbed 2wd with 350 or newer truck with 5.3ls, or possible Tahoe, Yukon, suburban trades. Could use a tow vehicle.
    May also listen to other trades, Buick trades,G Body Monte SS, Olds442, Turbo Regal ,or asking 12k cash.(Edited)
    Runs and drives well.(for a lowered truck) interior removed, cleaned, floors cleaned and painted, new pad, carpet reinstalled.
    PM me for additional details, photos.
    Located Three Rivers Mi 49093

    Again customized to specific tastes but clean, low miles, priced right and not irretrievably hacked up. I like it!

    Fired it up yesterday, pulled it out of the barn and let it warm up.
    Early spring weather here in Michigan.
    This shop truck is ready to cruise. Decent stereo/CD player, AC, tilt, cruise control, Power windows and locks.
    Brakes replaced, new rubber hoses,etc.
    New headlights and front turn signal lenses. Recent tune up.

    Looks like a nice truck. Just not in the cards right now. Glws. Someone will get a solid low miles truck.

    Thank you for considering it.
    Probably throw some insurance on it, and start driving it a little since we are being blessed with early spring weather.
    If it sells, fine, if not we'll drive her for a while

    Those were made by Lund back in the 90's, to create a "phantom Dually" look or something like that.
    I believe the product name was Wyde Sydes, or something like that.

    I think that would do well at Mecum, you'd probably get double of what you're asking for it now.

    My friends Mom is kind of a worry wart, and a few years ago, she had another friend of ours pull the engine and freshen it. He told me it didn't really need anything, but he went ahead and replaced timing set, bearings, and rings. So even though it has 44k miles on the truck, the engine has less on it.
    It runs really well. I just installed a new MAP sensor the other day, and that fixed a kind of rich, stumbly cold idle condition it had.

    Just took it for a rip down the road and back. Thing runs awesome, and is a blast to drive.

    Is the frame notched to lower it or what was done? Front is just lowering springs?

    Edited price
    **$12000 CASH FIRM**
    It's priced fair for what it is. It was painted 30yrs ago, it has some flaws, but presentable, and good driver. You won't find a cleaner, cheaper, true 454SS out there.

    Need to find the same thing with a small motor to give my son for upcoming graduation. This one needs to go first.
