This is my grandpaw's old truck. He bought it new in 85 and I learned to drive in it. I have many old memories with this truck and I can't even begin to tell you what it means to me. My grandpaw "Jack" gave me the truck about a year before he passed. It is the only vehicle that i will never sell. It has had 3 previous engines and must have 400,000 miles or more on it. Jack was even stolen and recovered in Houston Texas!! LOL.
Any way the plans are a slow restore with a LQ9 / 4l80e. It will have a short wheel base bed and maybe a Maggie before I am done. So far I have the following parts: LQ9 4L80e Pypes exhaust system SWB EFI tank and sending unit I still need the following: short wheel base bed or whole truck!!!!! Magna charger headers wheels???? 3" and 5" drop here are some pics snow in Mississippi? ![]() in the shop today ![]() Deer damage ![]() little rough in here ![]() the TPI motor was sold and here is the empty bay ![]() engine stand mods to keep the AC ![]() ![]() the engine and tranny. it will be detailed before the final install. ![]() The engine is installed and the tranny mount moved. ![]() that is where i finished for the day. I will work on the shifter and other parts tomorrow.
