Smokkey1,
Thanks, Specs are as follows:
1990 GMC (Born a 1/2 ton and grew up into a 3/4 ton)
5.7L 350 (Will be swaped out with a brand new balanced and blue printed 383 with about 420 hp next month)
A/C & power everything (which means everything can go wrong)
Brand new GM 700R4 geared for 3/4 ton less than 100 miles
8" Lift (all springs no body) 52" 3/4 ton springs
Cross over steering
Frame Brace @ steering box
dual shocks in the front singles in the back
new front and rear drive shafts
rebuilt Dana 44 up front with 4:10 gears
rebuilt Corp. 14 bolt in the rear with 4:10 gears
36"x 14.5"x16.5" TSL Supper Swampers
Bomb proof front bumper
extended hoses all around
Hope to save my $ to have the interior redone this year
Paint is 14 years old and doing good (No rust yet)
After I drop in the new engine it will be a brand new truck from the engine down. All for less than 14K to include 4K for the purchase of it. Who needs a 50K new truck when it can't do half of what old bettsy can do.
clipity,
It has 8" springs front & rear (No blocks or body lift). no one ever says I wish I would have went with a smaller lift
I kinda whish I would have went 10" with 38"s
