a friend of mine has an 86 one ton. he put it together using a couple different rigs. i was thinking of buying it and using the 454 and turbo 400 for one of my trucks. is there anything else worth keeping off of it? its actually a pretty decent rust free truck.

Depends on what parts he used to assemble it.

If it has the Hydroboots I would keep that also nice upgrade to your brakes.

If you weren't on the other side of the world, i'd be interested in the running gear.

Mark, I thought you told me you weren't going to buy anymore projects...LOL! What are you going to put all of that great hardware into...the black '72?

im finally down to the 72 and the 68 4x4. if i can get the truck for a decent price i will squirrel the motor and trans away and get rid of the rest of the truck. was just curious what else i should save off of it.

AKChevyman · 10-28-2005, 06:12 PM
