Here is the beast. It has 130k on the odo (doubt its correct). It was $500 with an auto tranny that won't go into drive but you can drive around in 1st (low gear!). It doesn't leak any oil or burn any coolant. Doesn't seem to burn any oil either. I took compression of the cylinders and has 150 psi on ALL of them Little beat up...needs a tune up REALLY bad. The plugs are in horrible shape. Other than that it is a decent truck. I'm happy I got it. Looks like it has a 4" lift on 33"s

Pics...

 

NICE!!!! drop that pos tranny and get a manual in there. the compression says it all and 150 aint bad. im excited to see more pics and progress.
edit: oh and btw it looks like someone went on a rampage through a heard of cattle lol
welcome to the 4x4 club.. next goal: sfa club

 

that looks like a sweet project! welcome to the world of 4wd

 

...huh?

 

That poor truck! Thank goodness it will finally get some love. Good luck.

 

kicker-shocks because of the lift blocks...

keeps axle-wrap from accuring so badly

but I'd still ditch the blocks and put in some taller springs, but if it's a woods truck, then who gives a *&$%


I'm more "wtf" about the wires dangling down from the ass-end and up there on the exhaust mount


good find man; looks like it goes to fast it peels the paint off

maybe you should put that motor in your 2wd; then you wond have to deal with the oil burning, lol

 

good luck!

 

oh me and lift blocks are on bad terms so i dont have the latest info


91: i vote you primer it black or olive drap

 

and throw some chevy springs under there, weld the diff

 

Thanks man! And that shock is to keep axle wrap down. I'm excited

I will definitely make sweet love to it...hehe

LOL...nah I'll pass on that. After I get this "drive-able" I might tear apart my 1wd again

Thanks

 

i second that vote....or mabye even flat desert tan

 

Nice project truck! I would install some lower bumpstops

 

Yeah...NEVER had blocks in my life (had a 4wd history) and always hated them. I like olive drab(p)?

 

Lower bumpstops? Why?

 

more flex

 

blocks suck get some chevies under there
lol ive always seen it spelled with a p and just tonight with a b i guess it works both ways but either way it would look way badass and it would be easy to touch up

 

Stupid of me to scrap some chevy leafs I did a lift on my chevy and dumped the old leafs. Quick question...are they stock chevy leafs? From 73-87 years?

 

put stock bump stops on and remove those upper extensions, the stock ones increase spring rate instead of just a solid metal on metal contact point.. that direct pressure cant be good for the axle housing or anything around there for that matter

 

I love that paint color too!

 

For how fugly it is, its actually quite pretty.



Its so rednecky! I'd love to drive it and be a reckless teenager I'd like the paint if there wasn't red splattered everywhere.
