New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Bought this truck from a friend of mine, he built it with his dad out of their farm truck in 1990. This truck has a lot of stuff done to it. Full frame off build; frame painted silver after back halfed, tubed and narrowed. ZZ1 or ZZZ crate engine with TPI/EFI and a built TH400 only 4000 miles on the truck since the build. MSD ignition. Old school Alpine cd & EQ and rockford fosgate amps, speakers and subs. Everything is shaved but the door handles. I've been updating the truck and fixing all the little things that need it. First major project for me was replacing the EFI harness and computer, that got me started cleaning up all the wires in the engine compartment and hidding them. Just installed new floor carpet and a headliner from LMC. I love this truck and I thought about it often over the past 15 years, I couldn't believe it was sitting in a barn 20 miles south of my new house so when I heard it still existed I had to buy it.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

A great looking tuck you have there. I lke it. I really like the rear tubs, my next project :metal:. Can you elaborate on the rear set-up. How much was cut off the axel? Tire size. Some pics would be great.

Welcome from New Orleans.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

nice truck..i dont understand why it was sitting in a barn though...but great to see it going to somebody who will drive it..

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

I will have to try to take some rear-end pics, to show the work done there. The back tires are 29X18.50-15LT Mickey Thompson bias plys. I'm really looking forward to putting the new Mickey Sportsman S/R radial on here but I have no budget for rims yet.

This TPI setup is from http://www.firstfuelinjection.com/ My system was purchased back in '90-91 and I just upgraded it with their help. Ken at FIRST is great to work with and he got me everything I needed. My truck is in the gallery on his site.

The center console, door panels, amp rack, subwoofer enclosure and dash wrap were done by Competition Engineering here in AZ. But I think they are long out of business. Everything was handmade and vinyl wrapped. This is one LOUD 15 year old stereo system, with 2 tweeters, 2 mids, 4 mid bass and 2-12" Rockford subs.

Hey, welcome to the boards from MT. Sweet ride. Looks great so far, keep up the good work.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

that interior is sexy

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Welcome to the board and that is one sweet truck you have there.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Nice find! Looks like alot of time and money was invested, and cleaning it up and making it yours is is all you have to worry about. I like much of what has been doen to this truck especially the interior.... I do not have the balls to do it to my mostly stock looking 84 Silverado Stepper.....Past dropping it a little bit..... Its just so orginal with the rallys.... Its a stock kind of cool truck..... But I love that pro street look and the money that went into yours!

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

I do like the interior!!!

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Absolutely gorgeous. Only thing that was a little out of place to me was the front bumper. But the rest is absolutely stunning.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Very nice, love the middle console and panels

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Nice truck! Where in Az are you? We're trying to set up a meet sometime soon, check out the southwest section on the forum!

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

I agree, more interior pics of the console and the seats.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

WOW nice truck. Looks like that father and son team really put all they had into it. I would like to see any more pictures you can take of it. That looks like a killer truck from enother era. Have fun with it! And welcome from NH

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Good looking truck!

Can you post a pic of just your door panels, they look cool.

Thanks,
Trav

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Here's a couple of pics of the driver side door panel, with and without the grill cloth inserts.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

nice

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Welcome, where in AZ are you?

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

NICE!!!:metal: excellent score, have any pics of the rear suspension.:cool:

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Here are some pics of the rear suspension, a couple people asked to see it. I live in the city of Maricopa, about 20 miles south of Phoenix. As you can see it the pics I can't seem to get the rear end to stop leaking. It actually leaks from the fill bolt toward the top front. Motor and trans leak a little too, I'm hopefully just about to cure those.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Very cool truck! Thanks for sharing with lots of pictures. Did it by any chance have a Guns & Roses cd in it?

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Man do I love that interior!

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Thats a really nice truck you have there . How is the fit and finish of the lmc headliner and carpet?

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

:gi: :ww: nice truck :metal:

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

The carpet kit from LMC is a nice true grey, seems to go well with the other greys in the cab. I had to cut the carpet down the middle since the bottom portion of the console is welded to the trans tunnel. This made for some akward angles for the pre-molded carpet.
The headliner from LMC is nice too. I got the ABS plastic molded one with foam backed grey cloth. I had to trim about 1/2" off the back side of the headliner but this might have something to do with my trim pieces. The trim pieces are screwed in slightly different places than stock.
I then tapped out every trim screw hole and replaced them with stainless allens to match the stainless allens I put in the dash.
In the third pic you can see my new CSTMYZD license plate, "Praise the Lowered" Frame and license plate lights.

:hi2:from So.Ky great truck:c2:

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

that is a nice truck, i am not crazy about it being tubed. You have to love the TPI, that is the best looking engine you could swap. Good luck with what you are going to do with it.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

This truck was always intended to be a fun cruiser but it did spend a few Friday nights at the drag strip for fun. My plans are to make it more Pro Touring instead of Pro Street. When my budget allows I plan on putting 20" rims all the way around with the new Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R tire 29 tall by 18 inches wide for the rear. Here's a pic of the tire and the right size rim. This should give the truck a more modern look while getting away from the bias ply tires.

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

that will be insane looking are you going to go with a 20" front runner?

Re: New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck
 

Yes the front wheels will be 20" too. I'm planning on Budnik wheels they make a really nice product and they will custom make the backspacing for whatever you need. I have not decided on a specific rim just yet, the one above is a mickey thompson rim but they don't offer it in a 20" front rim only 18" and I don't personally think it is big enough. This F150 was in the 2006 SEMA booth and it has the 18" in the front and 20" in the rear. Not my favorite look, the front rim size actually looked worse in person than in this picture.
