Griff's 96 T100 Build
I'm now off and running on getting my, 1996 T100, 6 cylinder 3.4, 4 x 4 Ext cab with 101,000 miles built and back on the road. It was in great mechanical shape before I parked it 3 years ago. It has very little rust. The bed is gone, it got hit by a motor cycle and I dumped it. The interior is clean, carpet it good and dash is fine.
Here is my list of mods.
New bed
Front bumper
Custom Rear bumper
Rear leaf springs; decide if a lift is necessary
Rear shackles
Remove any rust
Convert to power locks
Convert to power window
New door panels to accommodate power switches
Sound proof cab
Convert to power bucket seats from manual bench
Paint bumpers, grill, and bed to match
New tires
New rims
Navigation system with Custom Dash Bezel
Extra lights
I am sure there will be changes and additions that pop up as I get into the build. I am mechanical but by no means a mechanic. In fact, I am going to have to learn how to do the repairs on the fly using internet forums, Youtube, manuals + pdf's and consulting experts. So that means lots of questions coming.
I will try and take as many pictures and document procedures so others can get an idea of how to do the modifications.
Thanks,
Griff

First activity,
Changed oil + filter
Flushed radiator
Installed new battery
Put 5 gallons of new gas in.
Changed air filter
It turned over but did not fire, acts like its out of gas. But that can't be I just added some. Maybe it's not getting spark?
Tonight:
Change fuel filter
Change spark plugs, the gap is .044
Check fuses
Any suggestions on next step?
