Nothing like a summer build. Oh this is gonna be a fun one.
https://scontent-b-mia.xx.fbcdn.net/...43150029_n.jpg https://scontent-a-mia.xx.fbcdn.net/...01017526_n.jpg Almost zero progress on starting day. Had so many other things to do literally all I got was grille off, headlights off, and all of the front wiring harness off except the harness plug itself. |

Currently getting rained out. |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Sounds like here. Just when you get going, mother nature thinks you stink and offers you a shower.
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Oh yeah. It poured all day. Last thing I need is rain.
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Well as I said, got rained out so here's a few things.
https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/...49985403_n.jpg Gooseneck hitch. Whether I ever need it or not who knows, but I'll have the damn thing!! https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...98668479_n.jpg Gate's off and lights are out. https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...31406718_n.jpg Doing a little exhaust swap ;) https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/...62459258_n.jpg My pretty Flowmaster 40 off of my old '88. |

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Now....time for the solid giveaway.
https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...22004646_n.jpg Yes it's just an external wiring harness. But not just any. Out of a '94 Silverado. So that means back to my needle gauges, I've got my tach back...along with a few adjustments that I'm adding in. ;) To start, she'll be getting the '94-up ABS system. And along with the heart transplant comes my new transmission. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...51044384_n.jpg Any of you who have done work, know exactly what this is. That plug, is 4L60-E. SO. New specs for everyone. Complete 94 conversion. 14-bolt 6-lug rear New 4L60-E transmission. Crate 5.7 TBI with 30K miles 94-up ABS system And while I'm working on this I'll be posting to the crew cab build to show y'all what we've been hiding. |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Hurry up....I might plan a road trip to come see your truck personally.
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
:lol: Keep rushing me and I'm gonna take forever on it.
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
And for hopefully the LAST time...dash is out.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...98905234_n.jpg And since I'm going back to my original needle cluster, I'm gonna have fun. Stripped the color on the needles. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...27545268_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...34937573_n.jpg I'm gonna replace the main cluster bulbs with red. Because I can. |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Awesome! Can't wait to see it lit up red!
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
I'm hoping it comes out good.
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
It will come out just fine .You are doing a great job. You are my son and you are using your own hands to build a GM truck from the frame up for the second time because you can. There is nothing better than bilding your own Truck to get it the way you want it.
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Thanks dad. I'm doing what I can, with what we have, with the time I have. No point in building it a second time if I'm not gonna do it how I want.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
I used to have that same bug shield.... I found, the airflow is disrupted, and creates wind noise at my driver's window, that was not there before.
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Haven't ever noticed that. But it does rub on my grille and make hood latching an issue. If I have the same problem with the new grille and core support, the bug shield will go.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Welp, here's the cab gut.
Seats out https://scontent-a-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/...30598677_n.jpg In between...finally took off that irritating visor. https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...96594842_n.jpg Also...some spoilers ;) https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/...60380033_n.jpg Plastic off. Was actually the first time I'd ever done this the "proper" way. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...24540060_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...64371468_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...70677516_n.jpg And last... WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' CARPET! https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...5215c3727965cd https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...07468332_n.jpg Here ya go. Y'all can settle for this for the next couple days. |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Looks like you've got a good bit of work done!
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Haha yeah. The cab gutting took a couple hours but now I can clean and prep for new additions.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Here's some tidbits for here and there:
My headlight harness creation First, my '89 sealed beam headlight harness https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...5edc15a328000f And my '94 harness that was originally set up for composites and has the newer horn plugs https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...08119427_n.jpg Put it all together and....'94 headlight harness now setup with sealed beams! https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...32991404_n.jpg This was my best friend while yanking a dash. :lol: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...569ac428a2fdb5 |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Now then....this is gonna be fun. I'm going back to my needle cluster...well, I'm starting with my '90 dash face.
https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...2f&oe=54493C7F And here's the '93 dash face...I'm just gonna cut out the plug section and glue it in. https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...05770935_n.jpg That all being said...HELLO '94 ECM!! https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...13827809_n.jpg |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
That hard lemonade is working eh? ;) :lol:
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Yes it is. I'm too cheap to buy a 6 pack of beer so I settled on Mike's :lol:
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
A few more uh, updates.
Brake pedal and switch from a '94 https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...c1&oe=545A277B '94-up e-brake pedal https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...68&oe=54506F0B Now this...is the fun. Carpet and 4x4 shifter from an '02 Dodge Ram. I will be integrating the Dodge floor into mine; I'll be using the Dodge carpet and shifter, along with the Dodge power seats. https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...e6&oe=544F300A And last....my new spring stack. From a '98 3/4-ton. https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...29973588_n.jpg |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Not much to update. But here's a few things.
Getting ready to go through and repaint. Going black with all of my plastic, and red with all of my vinyl. https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...65&oe=54588C99 My new goodies have started arriving ;) My red LED dash lights https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...05236692_n.jpg And my bright white LED reverse lights https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...10535840_n.jpg |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Nice! Can't wait to see it all back together!
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Me either...and I hate the slow process. :lol:
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Well, not really very much to add.
Here's a complete tail light circuit board with all of my LED bulbs https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...957689878ddf92 Next on my list of things to do was add a 95-up hood release: https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...99880854_n.jpg Aaaand LED's for my cab lights. https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/...40538994_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...06807505_n.jpg Also, got the bed off...again. https://scontent-a-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/...2e&oe=5472AE58 https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...40054818_n.jpg |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Haven't done much updating on here lately. My floor is currently cut out and I'm in the process of getting the floor from an '02 Ram in. On a side note...I cracked open my 14 bolt today. Just outta curiosity, and got a lovely look at that diff...I'm a happy camper
https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/...b9&oe=548CE2B1 Hello G80 ;) |
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
just a friendly reminder to hurry up and fix that truck!!! lol
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
I'm workin' on it! :lol:
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
The floor is finished now but he still has a long way to go.
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
If I don't see it, I don't believe it. :lol:
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
I've been busy. Truck's outback in the driveway, floor welded in, but I haven't touched it in a while. Cold weather decided to hit. I did however score me a new DD while the beast is under construction. '96 Silverado light duty 6-lug C2500 for $400. Bought with a bad 4L60-E, I put a 4L80-E out of a '99 in it. Runs like a champ.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
That will work for a while!
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Definitely. I was hoping to have the 4x4 done before the cold hit. But nothing goes how it should. Oh well. As long as I get it back on the road before it hits the two-year mark of being a project. :lol:
|
Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Nice DD
