Finally got me a donor truck for the 69 stepside
It's a 1992 Short step GMC with factory 350 and four speed auto, runs great looks pretty good. I plan on taking every usable part and putting it in the 69, right now I am thinking engine, trans, tbi, fuel tank and bed, maybe even rearend and leaf spring setup, also probably the newer stepside bed. The best part is it only cost me a grand.

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 67 stepside
Good deal and good idea. I really like those new step beds on the older trucks

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 67 stepside
Sorry about the title I fat fingered it.. The truck is a 69 not 67.
What else would you guys do with the donor. Could I possibly use the a/c stuff. Where do I start? The donor is in good shape although there is 160000 miles on it, it still runs strong. What all do I need to off the donor to make it work?

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 69 stepside
those engines are tough, my mom had a 90 sub with a 350 tbi and it had 230,000 miles on it and it still passed Ca emissions no problem, and comped out good too. Good score!

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 69 stepside
Please look at post #10 of this thread that truck looks great it is far from ruined, besides it is my truck and I happen to like the idea of the newer bed, besides I have it already it's not going to cost me anymore to put it on, and if I used my bed over, I would need new wood and bed hardware, also a non spare tire fender, and the list goes on I don't like my current bumper, I don't like the lights on the old bed, should I keep going.

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 69 stepside
IS there one of the newer model beds that will work on a longbed?

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 69 stepside
Old trucks look better with old beds imo.

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 69 stepside
Older trucks with newer beds......that's just plain sinful.
But to each his own.....that's just my opinion. Greg |

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 69 stepside
What I need to know is what I need to make the tbi swap complete and work. What have others done, any special things I need to be aware of, and just assume I know nothing. I am a professional mechanic but I don't work on automobiles I work on industrial oil field equipment.

Re: Finally got me a donor truck for the 69 stepside
I like the 90's beds on the 67-72 trucks, but only if they are lowered with the right wheel/tires like the orange one posted. I like them better than the older step side beds.
