Hi.

[cor86]

I just put some different tires and wheels on her, and figured I would post up some pics of my progress so far. I wish I had documented the various projects, so I could have a "build thread", but my laziness got the better of me. I recently swapped in the motor, and the interior was done awhile ago. It was the first thing I did, since the PO left me with little choice. The truck is not done, but is a little bit closer. Next up is a cowl hood and a non-rattle can paint job, along with new bumpers and some other little things, like figuring out the trans/rear gear dilemma. Enjoy and let me know what you think, as long as you like it!

Oh yeah, here are some specs: 1986 GMC Sierra Classic. Originally a V6/4 speed, then changed to a 350/350 by PO, now a 454 (.030 over, 1969 063 semi-closed oval port heads, Comp Cams XE268 cam, Eddy performer 2-O and 1411 750cfm carb). It is estimated to make around 450 horses and is currently backed up by a TH350C and a 8.5" 10 bolt with 3.08 gears. I just picked up a Powertrax no slip, but I think I might have a LSD, so if I have to change carriers I will go with 3.42 gears and that will help in my decision to build a 700R4. The wheels are Wheel Vintiques 15x8's, with their centers and GM van rings, wrapped by Cooper 295/50's. It has a DJM flip in the back and DJM 3" spindles, with half a coil cut on the stock springs. I need to cut another half to get the stance I want. Seats are out of a Chrysler Sebring convertible and the console is homemade (obviously) and houses a 10" sub. The dog hair was put their by Max, and the tailgate handle relocation kit will be going on soon, along with a K5 insert.
