Plan is dropped and bagged.

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

Does anyone have pics of NBS seats in these old trucks? Or might someone be able to point me in the direction of their builds for them? I'd love to update the interior in mine...

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

several threads like i have advised everyone look at superduty ford seats instead.

Newest acquisition. 1990 GMC 3+3 3500 with 5.7L TBI. Straight truck with minimal surface rust. Very hard to find where I live. Interior is bone stock, I think this was a military vehicle at one point. Previous owner had a plow on the front and butchered the wiring harness. Currently re-furbishing the truck to stock condition and will plan on a mild lift with 33" tires in the future with a full re-paint. Some beautiful trucks in this thread for motivation ;)

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

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

This ones going on Ebay after I clean it up. Just brought it home.
Nice truck so maybe I can actually make a few dollars on something.LOL
Very clean and no rust! Im getting the top painted and may do some additional small stuff.
Luckily it was a short pull down back roads on that little trailer.
Enjoy the pics!

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

Just put some new 22"s of the truck...

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

Are those GM colors? I really like the colors!!

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

no... I tried. Fiat Red and Lexus silver... The GM colors did not offer the richness in color I was looking for...

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

Slowly getting there

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

Has anyone found a source for the tailgate lights? I searched and have only found chrome ones on amazon. Thanks

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

I think lmc has them

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

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

I just re-wired and replaced all the lights on my tailgate. I just went to Oreillys and bought them off the rack. They had black mounts with red lights. They were $5-6/ each. They look great

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

I found them. Look just like OEM. Just the marker, no housing. Grote part # 46412 red. $2.50 ea. Grote.com

Ill install them and let you know how they are.

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

I wish I had an oreillys near me

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

wlakerb I hope you keep it stock, there is a blue & white 86 4x4 just like yours on 21 of this thread that I think is one of the sharpest rigs around.

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

Agreed, that is a really sharp looking crew. The game plan as it stands currently is to leave the patina for now and lift it 2-4" with some new BF's. Thankfully its as close to stock as a truck can be and will stay that way.

Im fixing and clean interior now. I found a nice dash pad close to me so its getting there!

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

What kinda mirrors are those?

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

He has a build thread in the project section, l believe there off 2008 duramax

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

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but not new to Chevy Trucks. Just got mine back on the road again after 6+ months of building / rebuilding. 1991 V3500, 496 Gen 6 BBC, 4L80E, single serpentine belt conversion off a 1995 - pretty much a wood / rock hauler / kid bouncer. I love it!

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

Where did the 496 BBC come from? Is it a TBI?

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

Yes, it's still a TBI engine.

I built it, the block is a gen 6 454 from a 1997 Suburban, the heads are stock 1991 TBI heads, that I added SST swirl polished stock sized intake valves and 1.88" exh valves, the bottom end is SCAT externally balanced .030" over with the HO 454 hyd roller cam.

4" spring lift front / block lift rear with 33's on stock steel wheels.

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

So you basically stroked the 454 to get the 496?

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

Yes lots of aftermarket stroker kits.
454 bored .060, add a 4.25 in stroke crank with some 6.385 rods = 496 BIG CUBES

Rode in a few of these monsters. :smoke:

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

is it the stock TBI and if so how did you get it to work with that motor, details thanks in advance.

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

Yep, bone stock TBI. I put new pump / meters in each tank, changed the fuel filter because it was plugged and have had no trouble. The TBI that's on it was off a 1993 454 simply because it had 83k miles and the one on my truck had 487k, yes almost half a million miles when I bought it. Of course with these heads it runs out of steam about 5000 then again so does the TBI system. The picture on the right was what it looked like the day I bought it. The cam is pretty small for this engine but then again it needs to be in order to move that barge down the road. Basically I tried to build a copy of GM's HT502 but on a budget...

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

I would love to see some more pictures of your truck, which brand of lift did you go with? When you say 33in. tires are you referring to 305/70/16 or 285's or which size? Looks great thanks!

How's the power and mileage with that motor?
