OBS Chevy/GMC on NBS Wheels

He went straight to the local dealer to get those. Wheels + Tires, I think he paid around or just under $1,000.

OBS Chevy/GMC on NBS Wheels

This is my dads '95. Not sure what size the wheels/tires are, but I believe they're off a '15 or '16.

Jasons '90 GMC Z71 Build

Just put a set of new(ish) 285/75R16s on the truck. The suspected power steering hose turned out to be a leaky reservoir, so that's getting changed this weekend, along with fresh oil and filter, then it can FINALLY be driven. :popcorn:

Haven't done anything to the truck in a while. Have been waiting on a bed to come down from up north. Just got it on this weekend. Still a few dents and dings to fix, but nothing too major. My dad is a retired paint/body guy, so while he had it, he did everything he could while it was upside...

Got the under-bed portion of the frame coated in POR15 over the weekend. Not perfect, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Far better than it used to look, anyway. Getting a new bed sometime in the next few weeks. "Guy who knows a guy" sort of deal. Truck will look like a Christmas...

Jasons '90 GMC Z71 Build

Lots of work done on the truck this past weekend. Removed the bed (no way it was going back on. FAR too gone), replaced the fuel tank and lines from the filter back, new sending unit, all new rear brake lines, starting at the proportioning valve all the way to the wheels, fixed 4 holes in the...

Did the iso. dump valve/ABS control module delete procedure (located HERE) yesterday. Haven't been able to put it to the test yet, as I still have a blown brake line, but if it works as well as most people say it does, I'm looking forward to experiencing it. Did not need the 5/16 - 1/4 adapter...

Jasons '90 GMC Z71 Build

New rotors, calipers, and pads put on the front yesterday. Couldn't get the hoses that run to the calipers loose, so I left the old ones on for now. I hadn't noticed any leaking from there (yet, I'm sure). My buddy has far more tools/tricks than I do, so hopefully be able to get those off...

Got the truck to start last night! Originally thought I had a broken (rusted) fuel line, so all winter it sat, untouched, undriven. Upon further research, I discovered it was technically a fuel line, but not a send/receive line, but rather a vent line that led to a vapor canister (did I mention...

Air cleaner housing back on the engine. Just like the valve covers, not super nice, but better than it was before.

While I was snapping underhood pics, realized I didn't have any of the interior. Kind of crappy pics with the sun beating down right now.

Pics of the engine bay (with the freshly painted valve covers). Forgot I had painted the air cleaner cover last fall. Probably do the housing next.

Here are the "After" pics of the valve covers. Not brand new looking by any means, but at least they're all black again. Probably haven't looked like that for the past 200K miles (over 300K currently). Still need to get a pic of them back on the engine. Coming soon... (Note to self: Clean...

Had an itch to do SOMETHING to the truck (since it isn't currently road worthy), so I removed the valve covers and painted them yesterday. Stupid me forgot to take a "Before" pic, so here is an after prep, but before primer/paint pic. Couldn't get all the nastiness off of them, but it's a...

Figured I had better start a build thread for my truck since I'm getting older and forgetting things. Haven't done much to it since buying it in March, 2015 ($400), but hopefully that will start to change, as it needs A LOT of work.

New Fuel Tank

Need to put a new fuel tank in my '90 Sierra Z-71. Planning on going with the brand Spectra because my neighbor can get me a good discount on one. Reviews on Advance Auto Parts website say it's a good buy. The lock ring kit is included and I'm also going to get new straps/hardware, rather...

New guy from MI

Hey all, just picked up a rusty (aren't they all from MI?) `90 Sierra Z71. Been wanting a project OBS GM truck for awhile and finally found one in my price range. Runs and drives well, but lots of body panels to replace. Eventually like to lift it a bit (t-bar crank, body, larger tires)...
