well been a long few weeks but its starting to come together now, cab on the new frame, new motor i rebuilt combining the 305 and 350 started on first key flick, and now moves under its own power (albeit no brakes lol)
Heres how she sat yesterday, got most of the front end back on today so far...
cab is finally off the bad frame, seeing as noone is ever around when needed i ended up rolling it onto my 35" tires then after i pulled the frame away lowered it onto blocks and 2x6's
so, traded my pushbar, a 32" lcd tv(i got for free), some scrap copper and Al (about $70 worth) and repaired 2 tablets ($40 ) for this:
1996 GMC Sonoma SLS ECRB 2wd 4.3l vortec
originally got it so i can have a truck while im doing the off frame resto on the silverado but now i might keep it...
question for the experts, the 350 is on its way out in the silverado, if i toss the 305 in it while i rebuild the 350 what all would i have to change? i was looking at the harness's and the look almost the same (some differences being a 95 and a 90 but i can rewire) i figure id need just the...
after spending a while sanding the pass side door i forgot about the hole in it and checked the bottom edge, sure enough its rotted so i ended up swapping the pass side door also, took 1/2 the time tho for this one. and less guessing rofl. next is the bed, from what i saw on a few youtube vids...
any ever able to put a 700r4 in there 95? i know of the electrical issues but i think i can get around that (ran my own pc and electronics repair business since 2000 so got the skills lol)
also can i swap the non abs 2 zone braking system from the 90 into the 95? mostly bc i hate gm abs units...
well had a productive day thursday, got the tailgate, pass side fender, driiver side door all swapped over to the silverado from the scottsdale, the old parts went back on the scottsdale to keep it somewhat together, gonna do it up as a mud buggy once i swap the bed over. put my 33\s on that...
been a long time to get to this point but the newest addition is finally home! 1990 Scottsdale RCLB 2wd, traded a 32" led tv that i had got for free with my xbox
thanks Darkrider! ill def be looking into this, having these sitting in my yard makes the 235's seem really small and i just want to toss them on and have some fun :P lol
that's true, i didn't think of that and 18's are easier to find in the 6 lug's, already know ill have to lift to clear the front with those things, i haven't measured but there equal to a ....33"?
finally got around to cleaning the garbage off the bed from when i bought it till now, pulled the liner expecting the worse, well.....
SOLID AS CAN BE!! def got lucky this time lol gonna get a roll on liner and ditch the plastic one
