Awright! Peg's gonna have a brain!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

if there offering to do it for a reduced price they might plan on doing the frame in the slow hours that means if work picks up you have to wait on the frame indeffinetely
agree on a timeframe and pay on delivery within that time or not at all , if they make it in time to put the body on sell youre frame if not continue to finish building using youre frame thats the only way to keep youre build going

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Does anyone have any reference material for the frame of the 87 K5, factory specs ? Like where the cabmounts are exactly and such ? i found one on here the the earlier K5 just not the newer K5

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

excited to see your new frame come together. let the fabbing begin!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

i also stole some pointers from Jlaird on this underdash brake set up !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Ok, here's something I've always wondered about that setup. It's awesome not to have the booster or M/C on the firewall but....how do you refill it and once you figure that out, how do you keep from under of over filling it? The radio, a/c ducts and wiring are all gonna be right there.

Inquiring minds want to know. :lol:

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

i am going to use a remote mount resivor and the carpet will be removable in that area !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

The carpet? So you can clean up spills? Where will the remote mount go since it needs to be higher that the M/C? Up inside your smoothed cowl? Sorry for so many questions.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

yes inside the cowl, it will have a door

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Ok, I've seen it done that way just not sure I'd be comfortable with it on my vehicle. It will look AWESOME though.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

it will be hard to get to the MC as long as you can get too it to take off the lid you can use a seringe and a little piece of hose to fill it up from underneat the dash
two small holes in from the top under the hood would be eazier but you cant see when the reservour overflows
i guess a daiper on the floor under the MC should be enough to catch any spilling but im not sure if it absorbs oil like substances , its eazy to test if it does though

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

hmmmmm..i like that , maybe a drain pan with a hose going outside !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

if you want to build a really clean / custom truck that is unique....nothing is going to be "EASY" !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Amen to that! :lol:

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Now that sounds like a good idea.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Looking good Mike!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

For you guys that know alot more about the LS stuff then me, i want to run one of the corvette or camaro intakes that set down lower and look alot cleaner , is there anything in particular i need to look for when trying to find one ?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Mike, I think that the "hot ticket" is the LS6 intake (Vette?) as far as factory goes, or a something like a FAST unit for built stuff... Im not terribly familiar with the LS stuff, I mostly do LT1's.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

i will check that out !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

You can use the LS instake off a corvette and it will bolt on no problems at all.You might want to calll Mark at Street performance in Arkanasas.(479)394-5711.He will more in likely have several in his shop and might give you a good deal.Prepare to be on hold for long time.Mark is very sharp on the ls motors

looks like it gains about 15 to 20 hp with the change , from wat i read a camshaft gives a lot of gain too

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

I got mine off ebay with fuel rail and injectors included for around $300
sorry kinda crappy pic of the intake itself....
I wouldnt do a ls6 intake unless you find one for a really good price cause at the cost they go for you might as well get a nice aftermarket one like fast as mentioned before.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

yep def need a new waterpump since the truck waterpump top hose hits the tb. THen you can either switch out to camaro/corvette accesories or use spacers for waterpump

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
