EXGM Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Nasty to say the least. Working on it as I can, and I about have the seats cleaned up. The tuff stuff mixed with what ever was in the seat, and its sort of gummed the seats up. I got to get the brakes fixed, and give it a tune up, change the tires out. Then I should be able to start driving it a little. I just can't wait to get it lower to the ground. It feels like it has a lift kit compared to my 06. Yeah its a nice looking truck... I have used tough stuff many times.... I can almost smell its pleasant clean odor... LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Picked up a new billet shifter online earlier today, got a can of seafoam going through it, and changed out the filter. Prolly not much gain, but it looks good. I plan on sanding the pan down, and repainting it. The stock 350 seems stout.

70chevy03ss Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Throw in a throttle body spacer. I did on my old 88 and what a difference also cut the cat out and put in a high flow one!! I miss my 88. My father bought the truck brand new when I was 7 yrs old. Loved that truck Edited September 19, 2015 by NoMoreSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 After a new piece of line, and caliper, it seems to be halfway road worthy. Now to get the back two tires changed over, and start driving it a little. Next on my list is new plugs, wires, distributor cap, and a rotary button. The plugs and wires will be AC Delco no doubt. Not decided on the cap and button just yet. Then to start looking for a few LOOk GOOD goodies. Thinking red LED tail lights, and some Crystal glass headlights maybe in the future. Then some drop goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Cool project. I'll always have a place in my heart for the 88-98 GM fullsize trucks, which I think are the very best ones they ever made other than 60-66. Always preferred the older interior, with 93-94 being the best years of it, especially gray cloth. The Indy truck using the diesel bumper is a nice touch, as are the 454SS/Sport package side mirrors, grille, air dam w/fogs, and wheels.

jddmj Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Got some time today, and got a tune up done on the pace truck. Since the wires was burned from the previous owner letting them set on the manifold, and rusted to the distributor cap, The plugs being solid black on the inside, and the cap looked like it had seen better days, I think she appreciates the pampering. I went with all ac delco plugs and plug wires. And for the distributor cap and button, I went with the accel kit. A friend of mine recommended the, because of the points being brass, unlike the ac delco. Topped everything off with a fresh oil change, which was well over due. I have seen black spray paint that was a lighter color than that oil was. The miss in the engine is now gone, and she is purring like a kitten.

jddmj Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Any updates? Actually been in the process of rewiring the stereo. Seems to have some shorts somewhere, so I just went ahead with a rewire. Installed a Pioneer single din in the cassette tape player spot. Other than that, Christmas is getting my money lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
