Hey ya'll from GA! Here is my '88:

Been in the family since 1989 - my brother's truck when he turned 17. I got it in 2004 when I turned 16 and did its first restoration then. Repainted it the current bright red base/clearcoat and kept the top white. Dropped in a Jasper 351W at the time and rebuilt the 4x4. Drove it all through high school and college ($5+ / gallon gas sucked back then!). No matter how hard or soft I drive, I get 10 mpg, ha. Original interior, stock height, 31" tires, straight dual exhaust.

Thanks, yeah no doubt. I've gotta get a new LF fender (same incident as the bumper) and a new hood at some point (blew up and bent it up top at the mounting points after jumping the battery one day and apparently not closing it hard enough).

Lol, I can see the sudden "oil stains" on the road from the cars in front already! That's a beast!

What was the original color?

It was originally the same color scheme, red with the white top and all red interior. It was just single-stage I believe.
