needs timing chain, guides, and the wheels and tires installed. pretty clean for how old it is. runs and drives with 194k miles. found in a field north of town about 10 miles.

 

Noice!!!

 

Nice find! Is that your Taco next to her?? What's your plans for the beast

 

Nice find man. I'm jealous.

 

Dude that FM booster is intense sweet find!!

 

(NAPOLEAN VOICE) cruise control,sr5,altimiter inclinometer gauges, LUCKY!!!

 

Hahaha. I see a SAS in the near future.

 

I see a engine stand and some taco bell in the motel parking lot. How far will he push the managers buttons and how much oil and coolant will the parking lot take man!!??

 

i havent moved it yet and no ones said anything so i guess im ok. some things ive noticed/need:

1. a whole new interior. i dont like the red.
2. rear window rolled down but will not roll up. my current daily did the same thing and the only way i can make it work now is if the microswitch on the back is pulled back. i tried it on this one and it didnt work. something else must be wrong.
3. manual hubs. came with auto locking hubs.
4. another skys chevy rear conversion kit
5. skys sfa kit

 

Ya red interior sucks.

check to make sure the rear wiper is all the way seated up, (maybe thats the microswitch deal you mentioned??)
Run the autos until you have it running and driving as well as the sfa breski!!

Total bonus on the find!!

 

From what I've read the auto locking hubs are not reliable and weak.

 

Looks great man! That's cleaner than 90% of the ones up here.

 

Yes i agree, the aisins are the way to go.However they would probalbly be good if you were just decently wheeling

 

found a 22re in denver with a very similar issue to what my 89 had, hopefully its a simple fix. headed there tomorrow bright and early!

 

Im excited to see progress on this thing, more pics

 

last night i got a storage unit here in town to work on it, and started tearing into the engine. after dealing with the 102 degree weather i shut down after i got the intake off. tomorrow morning ill go at it again when its cooler. unfortunately i have no outlets or lights in the unit so ill be working with the sun.

 

that's a cool portable garage!

Nice score, looking forward to the progress

 

Its a undercover shine shack to me

 

Nice Storage unit, but I hope you have a fan. I'm guessing it would get plenty hot inside there. I've been in 40' containers and they tend to cook inside them on a hot mid day sun.

Nice find on the truck, you can't go wrong. yeah the red is my taste either.

 

no fan but its always windy here in southwest kansas. really my only gripe about the unit is there is no power. i did get some impact wrenches on ebay so that should speed the process up.
