Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Thank you sir. I also found a twin of my truck! It's not identical but I think it's pretty cool.

That's what I thought! I think core support and front clip are next.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Thanks Bill. I really like the white out look. I think it looks better than the old black grille. I also like the composite headlights better.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
Well, I haven't posted in almost 2 years and honestly no had no intention to for a while as I started having issues. I blew my original 350. I spun a rod bearing and dropped a lifter...Honestly got kinda down and lost complete interest for a while. But there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
A few years ago I bought a '97 Yukon from a friend...floor was rotted and truck had issues so I decided I wouldn't put it on the road. So I took the L31 out of it and swapped it into the beast. I can finally say as we are nearing the end of 2019...the beast looks like a truck again...I'm happy with it again.
