Yeah, that is the research I had gathered as well. I am waiting for a nice day before I tackle the car again. It sure would be nice during these cold mornings though.

Had a friend with a similar problem in his suburban. It ended up being his factory bose amp. Switched it, and it has worked like a charm.

Welcome to the site!

Not a bad price. Would been great for a daily to someone with some experience with a wrench. Just in case things started going wrong with the mileage and everything.

Looks awesome! That would grain would look killer as carbon fiber though. Just saying. Its just money lol.

These are still available. Here is an extra 15% coupon code. YOURBIZBRAND

Never heard of doing this, but I'm liking the idea. Any other insight from the vets?

That is just a fiberglass place that makes the cab corners for clones. His truck isn't going anywhere in my opinion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My cruise control stopped working once. Ended up being the brake light fuse. I know that seems dumb, but its worth a shot checking out.

And if your going to just order any bumper to go back in under it, you dont even have to waste your money on a chrome bumper. Primer/work truck bumpers are cheaper, and will never be seen.

Welcome to the site. Im not a really big fan of a lot of after market style wheels, but the dub baller is a clean wheel. Good looking truck!

Post some pictures. That will help us identify the rim.

Oh hush LOL! I'll be keeping my eyes open, but in the mean time, I think the money will be focused on everything else. It would be sweet, even if it was only a 4.8. But I'll be shooting for a 5.3-6.0. Just something else to get me hurt lol

I don't plan on selling it, so the resell value isn't the biggest factor. I plan on keep it around to be "Dad's old hotrod". At the point I'm at at the moment, I may wait on the swap until I get my own garage to keep it stored. As of right now, its setting in the drive way with the other two. The LS platform is so so tempting with that kind of horse power, with just a little money. I am seeing used LS motors, with wiring harness, and computers going for $600. Dirt cheap for the gains available.

At least the rear two, with some nice fat tires. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Never had that though cross my mind, but that would look sick.

See, this is what I'm pondering toward. This is the same reason why I didn't want a 454ss to do my build, because it would be taking away from its heritage. If it was just a normal c1500, it would be different. But what about 1993? What about the Indy 500. And I like cheap quality parts lol

LOL thanks alot Richard. Im still up in the air about it. It runs good as is, started last night on second or 3rd crank in 20 degree temps after a week or so of setting. What bolt ons would you suggest if I went that route. Anything specific?

I would have to get help that is for sure, but I got enough friends with good motor knowledge to get it done I believe. That is one thing more tempting about the 350 though, I could do most of that myself. I could also just do the 350 until it blowed, then go with it. Sighhhhh, what to do, what to do.

Motor is basically stock now, with a drop in filter. I am not sure on the gearing, but it will scoot the way it is. I'm not comfortable about the power until I get it dropped, and some better tires. So I would be happy with a few bolt ons, and to keep it original. But I have seen 5.3's go for $150.00, and 6.0's go for around $450.00. My thought was to find a wrecked truck, and salvage the computer and things. So the question I guess is......stay original, or make it what I really want all the way around. Its the only thing keeping me from going wide open on the whole project. I don't plan to turbo or supercharge it.

As most know, I am currently working on a '93 Indy Pace Truck. The truck does not have the original motor, but it does have a 350 TBI motor as it did when it rolled off the show room floor. The motor has around 80k miles. I have been fighting the urge to LS swap it. The fact that it wouldn't be the original motor in a truck of this rarity is what keeps me from attempting the swap, and the fact the 350 will be easier to work with for this truck. I can pick up a LS for about the same cost as the bolt ons, gain horse power and motor life, and I would have room for options for more down the road. Something about an OBS with a 5.3 or 6.0 makes my mouth water. Please, give me some opinions. Anything really. Parts to use, mounts, etc is welcome. I plan on lowering it first, and getting the body in ok look condition. Then onto the motor, and then into the body. But I will pick up parts as I find them at a great price, and my pocket allows.

Update. I just finished up one of the projects holding me back, with possible hairline changes. One other project, which is about done, and my attention can focus on this project again.

Lol, yeah. It has been a different world for a little while. Still alot of great guys, but alot have left us. I guess I'll just still around until it becomes obsolete, maybe I can get my grandkids to join at some point.......but I got to have kids first lol Sent from my SM-G900R6 using Tapatalk
