The wife's 1985 4X4 Silverado

[Daniel U]

I posted this in projects and builds, but thought I should re-post it in the general section.

I just bought my wife an '85 Chevy Silverado 4X4 that has been converted over to '90+ SD TPI. It has Edlebrock smog legal headers, 700R4 trans. with shift kit, 4" susp.lift, 33"X12.5 on a 15" alum. rim. I've never had a 4X4 before, so this is all new territory for me. I have plenty of friends who are into it, both on this board and locally, who will guide me along to give the wife a killer truck. Plans are to replace the glass,interior with black door panels, headliner and dashpad. I'll probably paint or die the carpet as it is new. It needs new front/rear bumpers as they are mismastched. We are ordering new glass ASAP as the rear has a slider and the windshield is cracked. With my '54 Chevy truck running TPI, my wife's '85 converted, my IROC coming with it, and the 5.7 motor sitting in my garage ready to be torn down and rebuilt for a Father Son project, I guess you could say I dig TPI. I'll post pics of the Silverado later.
