Some of you learned of this truck last night when i initially started talking about trading my old dodge for it. What you guys didnt know is that my daily driver threw yet another alternator belt and i needed to make the deal happen a bit faster then planned. I know i know...new truck instead of fixing alt belt? When the car in question is a FWD Acura that has a stupid set up that requires one engine mount to be disconnected to change the damn thing properly and with this being the holiday weekend plus the simple fact im getting tired of it doing this every freaking summer. Plus the car has a few other issues i want to deal with before bringing it back onto the road. Thus why i worked with the seller on a deal and got rid of a lot of stuff that was sitting at the same time. Basically i liquidated half of my projects leaving the '94 as my main project followed by the bikes.
Anyways onto the pics i took earlier with the phone and the info on the truck
Specs:
1989 GMC K3500 Extended Cab Long box SL model (basically the Sierra version of a W/T)
5.7 L V8
TBI
TH 400 transmission
NP 241 C transfer case
Dana 70 rear diff
9.25? front diff
Known issues so far:
Transfer case shifter linkage needs attention
Fuel Gauge tends to get a lil iffy after several turns and bumps..settles itself out after a bit
Wipers only have one speed currently
Drivers door may need striker adjusted. Requires hard slam to fully engage the lock.
Reverse lights do not work.
Planned repairs/mods:
Tows
94+ grille
Hidden winch mount
light bar
Adjust drivers door
replace old a** panasonic deck and worn out factory speakers
remote starter
Body lift
crank front end
Next post will have RPO codes decoded. I have pics of the truck on my camera that i will upload tomorrow.
