Wildbill0088's 97 Build Thread

[Wildbill0088]

Started it for the first time in two weeks. One crank and it's running can't beat that.

Nice! hopefully mine will be like that when i get the heads done! when i got my truck, it sat for a year or so. put a battery in and boom, started right up. good ol 400s

Got it jacked up and on ramps so I could check over what it will take to get the trans out but gonna be on hiatus for a few weeks so I can get a bunch of doodlebug work done

So I don't know why I never noticed this but the 93 door panel on my drivers door does not fit against the 97 dash very well..

Waiting at this point to hear back about the parts truck I'm supposed to be getting

Thinking about getting a pair of General Grabber A/T 2 30X9.50R15s for the back so I can get the C load rating instead of running glorified car tires on the back. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...GRAT2OWL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

My truck sat for a week and it took two cranks to start it. Maybe the battery? Its a new duralast. Maybe its just time for a tune up like plugs and wires and cap.

When this thing was run daily it could fire up in half a turn if it's not cold out.

Searching locally for a visor but only found a non lighted one.

IT was cold out does that affect the starting?
