Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Nothing like a summer build. Oh this is gonna be a fun one.
![]() ![]() Almost zero progress on starting day. Had so many other things to do literally all I got was grille off, headlights off, and all of the front wiring harness off except the harness plug itself.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Now....time for the solid giveaway.
![]() Yes it's just an external wiring harness. But not just any. Out of a '94 Silverado. So that means back to my needle gauges, I've got my tach back...along with a few adjustments that I'm adding in. ![]() ![]() Any of you who have done work, know exactly what this is. That plug, is 4L60-E. SO. New specs for everyone. Complete 94 conversion. 14-bolt 6-lug rear New 4L60-E transmission. Crate 5.7 TBI with 30K miles 94-up ABS system And while I'm working on this I'll be posting to the crew cab build to show y'all what we've been hiding.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
It will come out just fine .You are doing a great job. You are my son and you are using your own hands to build a GM truck from the frame up for the second time because you can. There is nothing better than bilding your own Truck to get it the way you want it.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Thanks dad. I'm doing what I can, with what we have, with the time I have. No point in building it a second time if I'm not gonna do it how I want.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
I used to have that same bug shield.... I found, the airflow is disrupted, and creates wind noise at my driver's window, that was not there before.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Haven't ever noticed that. But it does rub on my grille and make hood latching an issue. If I have the same problem with the new grille and core support, the bug shield will go.
