Hi I'm Gavin and I have an OBSession
So uhhhhhh.......
It's been 4 days since the 93 was totaled, and a replacement truck has been purchased! Keep note that this is not a truck owned by me, rather Tyler but because of the significance he had with my 93 and since I'm around these trucks all the time I figured it deserved a build thread too. And I'll probably drive it every so often.
Well we know a guy who lives out in Doyle, who works at the Sierra Army Depot and he told us that a coworker has this chevy truck with a 4.3 in it that's been sitting for awhile. Didn't know any details about it rather than the 4.3, 5 speed, and being 4x4. We got the info of the owner and met him this evening. Funny enough one of my friend's dad brought up this same truck to me two years ago but I never pursued the idea. Kinda wish I did but at the same time it's good that we have it now!
Now this truck is a trip. Oddly optioned! The nickname for this truck was "Mystery" because we knew nothing, and on the way there I took a wild guess saying it's a 91 with blue interior. I was right on both counts.
We get there, to find out it is a 1991 ECSB 4x4 with a 4.3L TBI and a 5 speed 5LM60 manual, but it is decked out Silverado trim with AC, cloth interior, fancy radio, did have a bench seat in the front, but... has a factory tach needle cluster (which is apparently rare af in a 91). Has 243k on the clock.
It's problem apparently is it blows ECM fuses and that is the only reason it's sat for a few years. So we are hoping that we can figure out what it is, any ideas from anyone is appreciated. Body is fairly clean, needs a new grille but outside of that it's in good shape.
The old owner is even going to clean it out for us, Tyler ended up agreeing on $300 for this thing with the title and fortunately it's been on a non-op. Plan is to pick it up on Saturday. If Tyler wasn't interested I actually had cash in my pocket to buy it myself. This is just what popped up and seemed like a decent deal (on the inside I think it really needs a 350 after it's smogged).
So here's some pics!
