Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

I am using a 88-91 Burb/K5 radiator support so I just used the tabs on the intercooler and drilled some holes for a couple bolts.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

I am using the same core support as you but where my tabs on the intercooler were it was going to be a very tight fit to put a bolt in there and have it so that you wouldnt have to pull a head light every time you needed to pull the intercooler.

This is how I went about bolting the intercooler in. Just made a bracket and welded a nut behind it so I wouldnt have to hold the nut.

Sense I cut out the main supports I also needed to replace them so I went and picked up some 1"x2"x 11 ga to build new supports.

I have not welded the supports in yet, but in this picture you can see the intercooler and radiator all bolted up and see where I plan on putting the supports.

Looking good buddy!

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Still plugging away on this thing slowly. Been trying to get all my school stuff figured out, and doing what I can while I have no money :lol:

Got the kingpin stuff in finally and started putting the axles together, also got the ujoints in the axle changed, that was not cheap... Still have some stuff to paint before it goes back together all the way but it should be a roller soon.

It's looking good... I'm at the point where any forward progress is a good day.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

That is the same here, but school is going to be starting in I guess 14 days now and that is going to cut down on shop time and time to make money by quite a bit and I still have some important stuff to buy.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Looking good man. Once you get school out of the way and get a good job the truck project will be a lot easier to fund. I knew how you could get it done way fast but your dam boat had a huge hole in it. :lol:

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

I have a feeling if this truck isn't running before school is out it may set for a while. I have a feeling I'll have to buy a reliable truck after I get a job so I'll probably look into a 3rd gen cr. and then that will probably end up in IA getting modified haha. Yeah that boat sure didn't help out with money...

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Well this weekend I got quite a bit done with the truck with the help of Dieselwrencher. Ryan brought me down some more parts for the truck and also came down to pick up a new project of his that i traded him for parts. The engine transmission and transfer case is hopefully in for the last time.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Thanks buddy! It was a pleasure coming down and returning the favor from when you came up here in July. Oh, and I got to meet your family too. :lol:

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

;)

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

I'll have to come back up so I can mess with the tractor some, and at least my shop didn't burn down! I'm never going to hear the end about you meeting my family....

.............. Your house is the next place Ryan and I need to go to.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

i dont have any fire hazards in my garage and no family near. id say its safe ;). i even have a few spare rooms.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Well I think if I came out that way I would probably leave my truck there till it was riding on bags.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

that could take ages

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Hey Matt, just come back up here and I'll take you to Iowa City where you can meet one of his family members. :lol:

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

that wont work. i dont even know where my family lives in that dumphole.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Whateva bro. :lol:

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Deal, I'm sure we can find his family member up there.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Well have not done much to the truck lately but started back on it some. Had to get the shop all cleaned up so that has taken a while.

I ordered all new brake lines for the truck. And also got everything else to finish plumbing the fuel system on it.

Also bought a dimondeye down pipe for a 2nd gen dodge and thought it would fit good but I have a different exhaust manifold than a dodge truck and so the turbo is mounted back and down more and so the down pipe has to be modified.

Should get the brake lines ran, get the exhaust mostly figured out and mount the fuel lines to the frame and then I should be able to drop the cab back on this bad boy.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

wait a dang minute... is that a storm block? ¿Qué año es?

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

and, not to be critical or anything, but orange and red clash....

looking good brohiem

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Yes that is a storm block. And I know. I may paint those black before the cab goes on. Had to trade Ryan bell housings cause mine didn't have any alignment pins.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
 

Nice work and don't be afraid to cut up a new part. :lol:
