Re: 1987 GMC V1500 Sierra Classic LS swap/build

Test fitting wheels and tires. Sorry for the crappy picture. I mostly have to work on this thing in the dark! I don't even have time to install lights in the shop. Still really wanting to be putting around by the end of the month.




I am guessing the front wheels will stick out past the fender now because of the 1" spacers. I don't really like that. I am glad I got 4 1" spacers so I can space out the rear to help match some. I am just hoping a 1" spacer that is designed for M14 studs will go onto my rear end with 7/16 studs. We will see.

Hopefuly it isn't too ugly. I am also considering a flush mounted solid back glass to replace the sliding one I have now.

Still need to find a 99-04 rear disc rearend with 3.73 posi. I am so kicking myself for swapping it into that 06 I built and then letting it go when I traded it for the 01 TA, but oh well. I love the TA.

One thing that pisses me off though, is recently my engine start to leak oil. I can see a little bit of oil spot where it has been parked for the last couple weeks. The rear was fine when I was installing but I guess it sitting for almost a year...
