88GMCtruck's never ending 88 GMC build thread

[MYT HI]

I built a custom bracket that bolts to the bottom lip of the bumper. Others have welded a bracket on as well.

ahh ok thanks. one more question, are those the factory strips on your bumper or did you cut some other ones to length? i really like the look!

It was a solid strip I cut

Do Dave, I came a across a really good deal on a 80k tbi 454. I'm also hunting down a nv4500. Do you happen to know your mpg difference between the 350 and 454. I'm shooting for 454/nv4500/33's and 4:11s if I go that route. I still need to keep it affordable to drive. What are your thoughts on it?

95% of my driving since the 454 install has been with trailer in tow which is about 8MPG... The times I drove without was about 10MPG average for combined city and a little highway, and about 14MPG straight highway. Thats 454, NV4500, 4.56s and 35s. It did about the same as the 350 except when towing.

Yup, it's from a Nissan Terrano which is a JDM pathfinder. That is the color it came as well.

SAS was totally worth it. And eventually, yes, It'll be repainted.

The red truck is sad. It's been put into serious storage. At least it's out of the weather now.

Due to some financial things it might be in here awhile.....
