Nice find with the truck! The 3/4 tons are difficult to find in nice condition now days...

 

[What?]

Yeah, I missed out the combo I actually wanted. C3500 454, dually, long bed, manual. Kick my ass for not buying it. This will do with what's available.

It's getting new taillight with led upgrade. I'm figuring something out for the front, got something in mind but it'll be in the works.

I still (although impractical like everything else I buy) want another late 90s c1500/2500 rclb just for a summer driver. Messed around with a 97 Chevy c1500 RCLB that was similar and I liked it a lot!

Motor is ready, time to do few things before putting it in the truck.

I could get low 20s mpg RCLB with 4.3 and 3.08 rear end for cruising. Still enough power to get uphill

Do you have any knowledge to share about those pistons? I'm rebuilding one with the same part # and can't find any info on them. In fact, everything I search comes up with mercruiser boat motors.

No idea, same from factory and re-used it with new rings

You left us all hangin’ with a big “What”. Lol, no updates?

 

[What?]

Got busy with life lol.

Motor installed, working on putting basic parts back together and missing other parts.

Ceramic coated stock headers, just want to put them all back together and get it running, then go from there.

Finally getting there. Fuel pump didn't prime. Might need new fuel pump but got few other electrical issue to chase first.

All joints, mount, replaced and balanced

Drain, replaced trans filter.

Big 3 wire installed, new battery, couple sensors and connectors.

Trans mount and exhaust going on tomorrow. Hopefully figured out the fuel pump issue tomorrow to start the break in process
