Hey all,
I bought my truck about 18 months ago. It was an unfinished project. I don't know the full history and didn't buy it from the person who started the build. Here's what I do know:
It's a 91 cab on a replacement frame. A 98 Chevy was used for parts, so it has a 98 5.7l and a full interior swap. It also has a T56 6 speed, front and rear sway bars with polyurethane bushings, Eaton posi, Belltech suspension, and some details I've probably forgotten. Despite being in Maine, there's no rust. It's garaged during the winter months.
This unfinished project looked rough when I bought it but was mechanically sound. It's been repainted and I finished the interior swap. My uncle and I did the prep work and a local guy sprayed it near the end of summer in 2017. The dash, door panels, a pillar trim and headliner were installed but the rest was missing. It has leather buckets from a Chrysler LHS. I bought some pieces from LMC truck and sourced the rest from a local junk yard. The electric mirror wiring was missing, the passenger window didn't go up from the driver door switch, and the locks were a mess. I replaced the front bumper, grill and lights with a mix of new and junkyard parts.
While it ran well when I bought it, it quickly began to develop some problems. It's a 20 year old engine and was stored for years so some bugs were to be expected. I had a local performance shop go through it and they did a dyno tune as well. When done it put 238hp and 323 ft-lb torque to the wheels. The engine is not modified. The shop owner liked it enough he told me when I picked it up that he bought one for himself.
These pictures were taken over the summer. I've since added the door handle bezels and the SES light is now out.
