EC2012
Newbie
Purchased a 94 GMC 1500 last night for cheap money; about as expected for a 370,000 mile truck. Has a few mechanical issues (simple fixes) and the bed is ugly, but outside is otherwise fine. Inside not too bad either. Last 94 I had my dad bought brand new and I bought it from him in 2001, kept it until 2010. That truck was completely used up and have been looking forward to another TBI truck.
I am in an enviable position of also owning a parts truck 99 C2500 Suburban with a rebuilt L31. The plan is to rape everything off the Burb and convert my 1500 to a 2500. I also plan on pulling the Burbs tank and adding another 40+ gallons to the 1500. The L31 will be going to a local shop for a 383 build, and Harris Performance will be contacted about all the TBI parts needed (MPI is too complicated and expensive; I like simple). The 4L80 in the Burb was trashed when I bought it and will be sourcing a performance unit from somewhere. The Burb has buckets, GMC non-working and thrashed split bench; those will be going in during the interior phase.
