86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear

[bigguy]

Figured I would finally post what I have been working on. The story goes that I bought my 86 GMC while on leave in 2009. It sat in my fathers garage for the next year until I could come back and get it. When I did get back, I did a mild build on it which included a Mcgaughy's 4/6 drop with big brakes, 20/22" Coy C5's, and a 5.3L/4L60E swap. I drove daily for a few months before getting deployed again and then it sat once at my fathers house. Fast forward to late 2012 and a separation from the Corps and it's build time!


So for the second go around, I decided to run a Porterbuilt Mild dropmember front and rear. I built a cammed 6.0 LQ9, Performabuilt Stage 2 trans, 3.73 gears with eaton tru trac. I figured I would post some of the issues I have run into as well, mainly steering linkage and headers.
