    77Conours's 1997 RCLB Build Thread

    Hey all, I’m not dead and I still have the truck. Had to have a radiator and new clutch fan done and the fuel pump died. So new fuel tank, fuel tank straps, fuel pump, and fuel lines. I focused more on saving for a house but the market around here is garbage. Scheduled 3 tours of different...

    Nothing new or exciting to report here. Did a new fuel tank, fuel pump, lines, and filter. I bought new stainless brake lines too. Like I said before this will be a 90’s style 4x4 build and was able to score V-tech tail light covers for $23. I opted not to use the Lund roll pan either. The...

    Lol it’s on page 4 of the thread. $40 for the old school style. All brackets included. Everything needs sandblasted and powder coated. You’re lucky. I’ll probably just do the black Westin step bars until if and when I find a set. If you look closely at my truck when I first got it, it had...

    A set for a regular cab truck like mine were an hour and a half away and sold on the 1st on eBay new in the box. I was so pissed because those are the one thing that will be nearly impossible to find.

    Sure will because I won’t be paying out the ass on car payments, lower insurance, and diesel is cheaper than 93. I’ve gotten pretty lucky across Facebook marketplace for my Centerlines and Westin brush guard. The clear APC corners I found at Pep Boys pushed back on a shelf covered in dust...

    Oof hard pass on those. I’ll be doing the full size bow tie tail light covers though. I think a roll bar and KC’s are the only retro stuff I need but I’ll be buying those items new.

    Alright so I promised pictures of my scores from yesterday. First being new unused “tail light enhancements” from Lazer Concepts. Apparently they’re paintable but I don’t know if I’m going to use them, keep them, or eventually sell them. But the second thing I found was the best. A brand new...

    Thank you sir! Scored some goodies today at a truck show that are NOS 90’s parts. I’ll try to post pictures tomorrow.

    Thanks! I never daily drove a manual so it’s a different experience but shifting gears with the windows down is incredible. I’m trying to source a turbo back 5” straight pipe before winter. End goal for the Ram is about 700-750hp. Not looking for stupid power numbers, just a decent daily...

    Holy hell is this way overdue for an update. No, I’m not dead and the truck is still mine. Nothing really exciting happened over the last 10 months. The truck got a new radiator and clutch fan in spring. Then a few months ago the fuel pump died....new fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel lines and...

    Truck “passed” PA inspection/emissions today. Oil cooler lines are leaking and the front of the oil pan is moist. Trans is also leaking a little. Buddy/tech said I shouldn’t spend money on the truck since it’s rusty. I’m going to have cooler lines and oil pan gasket replaced in a few weeks...

    My uncle stopped by to drop these off tonight. Said he wanted them gone so $150 later here we are! Have to get lug nuts for them and clean them up. I was wrong about how they looked lol. I prefer these over the style I though they were.

    These on Goodyear’s Cylinders 2 and 4 were destroyed in June. So I’ve been daily driving the ‘97 all summer. Going with a forged 392 stroker, new heads, cam, and ATI super damper. Shooting for 800 horsepower. Just sucks I was unprepared lol. It’s life, no one is dead and the car isn’t...

    That thing is awesome. I’m actually listing my Centerlines for sale.....I need money to rebuild my Charger’s engine. Plus it will clear some room up in the garage. Hoping to have 2018 Silverado take offs here in 2 weeks.

    Nothing new really. Replaced the air filter with an AC Delco unit. Cleaned a few leaves out of the air box and put it back together. Pretty boring. My mega cab was 5% the whole way around including sun roof. In PA we have our emissions and inspection stickers on the windshield so I’m...

    In time it will. Debated on having windows tinted now but I think I’ll wait until the bodywork is done. Not sure if I’m going 5% or taking the plunge and doing limo tint since it’s a regular cab. My previous 400 didn’t have bad clear coat. The door you see in the picture is pretty much it...

    Not a big update or anything. Been daily driving the truck for almost 2 months. No air conditioning lol. Found out that cruise control still works. Been getting washed weekly and I’ll probably take it in for an oil change this week and possibly a coolant flush if I can afford it. Washed and...

    Well, truck has taken on daily driver responsibility for a little while now. My Charger's engine blew the other night. Drove to work just fine and came out and started it up....horrible noise. Cylinders 2 and 4 are done. So I'll be getting a forged long block and new heads. ARP main and...

    Finally got doors for this thing. Off of a Tahoe. Both are 100% dent free and the drivers door has a super small amount of surface rust. Complete doors too. Mirrors, window, window tracks, and ran door panels that are in excellent shape. Only paid $100 for the set pulled by the seller...

    Guy selling doors never got back to me. I hate people on Facebook marketplace. Gave away my plastic bed liner for free. Took truck to a pay and spray car wash and did the bed up to see what I’m working with. Literally rust free bed. Dents being a quarter sized on passenger rear wheel well...

    False alarm. Called guy to give payment and told me someone sent him payment the previous night . So the hunt for those continues. Gonna be some slow progress on the restoration now. My iPhone is about dead after 3.5 years so I’m getting a new one. However, I did find rust/dent free doors...

    You are correct sir. I like the sidewall and white letters of the KO2. So all terrains will be the tire of choice now. Got my cab corners today and they’re not the quality I expected. So I’m going to another body shop tomorrow to get a quote. Really gunning to have bodywork done by the end...

    Spring Carlisle treated me pretty well. Picked up some vintage Hot Rod magazines, some goodies from Adam’s Polishes and some 400 parts. Got weatherstripping, rocker panels, and a set of inner/outer front fenders rust and dent free from the south. Ordered cab corners off of eBay. Also paid...
