Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

hey guys, i have been lurkin around here for a while, and finally got a crew cab a few weeks ago. I have been staring at most of the trucks on here, gettin all kinds of ideas of what to do to mine. I have some ideas, but any input is more than welcome.

It is a 1984 C30 454/TH400 If there is anyone close to me with parts available for sale, please let me know, lookin for some wheels so i can get rid of the simulaters, as well as some interior pieces. I have made some progress on it since i got it, and i have more pics here: http://s1217.photobucket.com/albums/...New%20Project/

thanks, yea its not too bad, finding alot of bondo in it that the previous owner neglected to mention, but its a project anyway..

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Ken ... that is why I bought my crew out of southern cally away from the water. No rust & the slimest margin of repairwork.

What are your plans for the crew??

I also have some spare pw style factory door panels if you needing them?? It'll cost you lunch for them!!

a mild drop, probably a 3/4, after i get the bodywork done, im going to start on making a bed cover, change the interior color from tan to black, two tone black on top, electric blue on bottom, and i am trying to find a set of wheels so i can get rid of my steelies and simulators, also try to get either a 5 speed, or an overdrive to put in it, change my rear gear ratio..

I think the best overall trans change would be to a 4L80. I just had one installed in my boss's SS454 truck by Neal Transmissions in Snellville. That thing rocks now. He blew through a Monster Transmission built 700R4.

Good luck.

what all would i need to swap one in?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

About $3500.00 cash.

They are the same trans that are in the H1 hummer & the HD gm trucks. But they will take a beating.

Call Keith over at Neal Racing Trans & ask him. Tell him I sent you that way (No I don't work for him but he does stand behind wahat he builds & he's local).

ill give him a shout, ive got to be up in that area on tuesday, but to be honest, im cheap, and i usually dont keep vehicles longer then about a year, i love the crew cab, but if someone offers an interesting trade, it can go too. not sure if it would be worth that much of an investment, i will definitely talk it over with him though, thanks for the info

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

do you shift the tranfer case from underneath? or have someone else do it while you hold the brake?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Let me guess. 6" suspension lift, 35/12.50's on 16x10's?

Edit: Those might be 16x12's?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

what size lift and tires you running?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Nice truck!

Makes me want to sell my 2wd and build a 4x4

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

SamMargritz00, Nice crew! I've never seen it around there. I'm originally from North Platte! I go back every couple month to visit. Small world!! I do all my classic car banking through HSB, since I was 16. A great bunch of guys there. Glad too hear Bic Mac is full of water again!! :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Very nice!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Very nice truck!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I asked that because I could see what looks like a 4wd shifter dangling underneath the truck;)

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Man that is pretty! I wish you people would stop doing this to me! Everytime I decide on a color scheme, something else comes along and makes me want to change my mind. My trucks all black now, but I love the factory two-tone stripe like yours, and plan on adding it as soon as the new black is final buffed. I had always wanted to do the stripe in gray (or silver), blue would actually be my first choice, but my interior is red and I dont want to change it all. Most recently I had decided the stripe would be a plum color, like a subdued dark purple. But now you and your pretty red stripe are messing with my head. Thanks a lot!!
