Well I may have made a little mistake.. Ended up with this 1995 GMC Seirra SLE 5.7L 4x4 auto long bed extended cab. It runs and drives sort of... I actually like it a lot and so does the wife so going to have to fix it all.
A bit about myself. I've been working on vehicles ever since I could remember. I have never had to pull a engine or trans though. I've done plenty of CV axles, brakes and other stuff of the sort. Never swapped seats either. I like trucks and guns. I have only ever owned 1 Chevy before. 1987 S10 Blazer 2 door 2.8L manual transmission 4x4. Was a fun rig until I needed more space. Otherwise I've had Subaru and Ford.
Problems: I'll update as I fix them.
Dumps oil because of a massive amount of blow by. Has 200k on it. - Wanting to drop in another 95 5.7L TBI. Thinking scrap yard pull of a lower mile and throwing new gaskets in it. Not sure what else I should do to it for future preventative problems.
Outside door handles are trashed.
No keys for the doors.
Passenger side needs window regulator and motor.
Tailgate handle broke. -
Power seat doesn't work. - Want buckets instead of bench anyway.
Headliner messed up. - I know someone that will do a camo wrap on it.
Play in steering wheel. Like 1/4 turn easy.
Pass CV axle needs replaced.
Blower motor sounds funny.
Locking lug nuts with no key. - Just ordered new lug nuts.
So came here looking for help and to do more research into making this truck great again.
Future plans also include a winch bumper.
