Re: Saving SoGT #493 I need some opinions here guys. I want to keep this truck stock as much as possible, it is one of 14 after all, but I always thought the SGTs looked a little goofy sitting so tall. Have been really considering lowering 2" all around. Not interested in slamming it and...

Re: Saving SoGT #493 Not too much has changed since the last update, but parts are trickling in. Got my new used shift knob and button from a C4 Vette on ebay, it looks like new! Also have some other interior parts and some cladding coming in from crawlinGT's part out, should be in Monday...

Re: Saving SoGT #493 As far as I have been able to dig, I am the fourth owner. The original owner was in NC, and had it a short time, about 3 years. The old guy's daughter and son-in-law bought it after that in SC and must have DD'ed it for years, cause that's where the miles piled on. Old...

Re: Saving SoGT #493 Thanks guys! I have a nice SGT steering wheel and some other miscellaneous pieces I need for inside headed my way from crawlinGT's part out, and I found a nice C4 shift knob on ebay. Also headed my way from the part out truck is the passenger rocker cladding and the...

Re: Newb in WI Welcome! Your case sounds about like mine, having owned several first gens but only one PAS truck. I agree, we need pics! 502 is red and gray, correct? That's a pretty color combo.

Re: 1992 Sonoma GT Needs Reassembly Bought the pieces I need from him last evening, appreciate the looking out though! :tup:

Re: Saving SoGT #493 Patina is one thing, bad touch ups done with what must have been a 4" brush are quite another. :lol: Some places on the truck have been resprayed and clear coated, some are original single stage, and others are just ugly. The plan for now is definitely fix any mechanical...

Re: Saving SoGT #493 Thanks! The plan for this truck is to restore to original. I think to do anything else to such a rare truck would be a sin. 14 were made in Aspen/Argent colors and from the breakdown of truck colors by VIN that I've found here, 493 is the very last Aspen Sonoma GT to...

To start with, I guess I'll have to tell the story of how this truck came to be in my possession. GT #493 came to WV from South Carolina in 2005. About a year or two after that was when I first saw it sitting beside a house and garage alongside a little narrow two lane just outside town. I...

Re: 1992 Sonoma GT Needs Reassembly Text sent. and reply received, thanks.

Re: New from WV Thanks. I think the rear corners can be fixed possibly, but I'll definitely need a passenger side rocker and driver's side bumperette. I think the support behind the front bumper is bent, I am going to have to straighten up that mess somehow. This is honestly the only...

Re: New from WV Here are a few better pictures of how the truck sits right now. This is just how I bought it, there is a LOT of cleaning to be done inside, but otherwise the interior is in awesome shape for the age except the cracked dash and the messed up console lid. Factory carpeted mats...

Re: New from WV Thanks for the welcome guys! This is a restoration project back to original, which all in all should be fairly simple save finding some cladding that is broken in half on the passenger side. The body is rust free and not beaten up at all. Frame is solid and only has light...

Hi, I'm Stan and I'm from WV. I'm not quite "new" to S series trucks, (I've owned 4, all first gens) just this one! This bad picture is my new project truck, Sonoma GT #493. She is, as I understand, one of 14 SGTs ever made in the Aspen/Argent color combo. She's showing her age a small...
