Hi yall finally getting time to work on my 88 pickup again pretty much stock except the ghetto flatbed. It was my dd for 5yrs until head cracked, thanks to engbuilder got everything I needed to

rebuild it. Then the rear end craped out what luck. Now I'm hoping to get it back on the road and trails.

Here is the rear end pretty crazy it still work fine sounded bad





Pretty much stock just 31/10.50

 

Here is a pic from my phone I made a custom front bumper and winch plate out of 304 stainless here is before paint and winch looks bulky






Not to bad for first time new smittybuilt xrc8 winch

 

Trying to find pictures of my engine rebuild new head and 268 cam from enginebuild new bearings .20 over pistons oil pump water pump the whole 9 yards great parts awesome customer service, bought a 1200lb clutch from marlin crawler pics hopefully coming soon

 

Cool build im trying to debate what i want to do to mine

 

Thanks as you can tell it's definitely a budget build good luck on your project

 

Nice looking truck and you did an excellent job on the bumper. Welcome to Yotatech.

 

Thanks very much I wish I would have made it about 2 inches shorter o well beats paying big bucks for one lol thanks again

 

Hopefully gonna get my sr5 gauges in tonight will post pics

 

Well been pretty busy so no progress till today hopefully gonna get my rear end put back together with a factory 4.88 so no 4wd till I get the front changed pic coming soon

 

We'll rear is getting close need to put new whell bearings in so done for the day tried to set the tach in sr5 gauges it was in a 3.0 tried to remove cover and cracked it I think I should call it a day

 

If the gauge set you are replacing doesn't have a crack you can use it. Just hold it over the new one and drill a hole for the odometer knob. Terry87 did it on one of his builds so there's pictures somewhere on here.

 

You can use a non SR5 gauge face plate. Just need to drill the hole. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...l#post51712377

I cant see which guage you have but if it is the hash mark gauage, I would not pull the speedometer needle off to set the correct mileage. They tend to break. I posted on the SR5 gauge thread on another way to correct the mileage on it. It is a Youtube video I found.
