got me a donor pickup!! woohoo!!!
I just picked up a 82gmc 2wd 1/2t, runs and drives for $200. I plan on using the front crossmember for a disc brake conv. and making the rear end work for me too. the pickup was originally a diesel so it is sort of a basket case. but it has fairly strong 350 backed up with a th400. I think i might use it too (not really sure) I planned on using the power booster too until i realized it was running a hydraulic system off the power steering. Is anyone running one of these? It takes up way less room than a vacuum setup. Any other ideas on what I can make good use of off the pickup? Oh and it has a good set of ram horns on it too, I'm prolly gonna sell those.
Thanks
ps, can i keep my manual brakes with the disc conv.?
