Trans Am with a bed

[c10sport]

This was a fun build and a really fun truck. I built it using nearly all GM parts to make it look factory and added a bunch of options and features a 1989 GMC never had such as heated, power and auto-dimming mirrors, tilt-telescopic steering, factory keyless entry and alarm and express down windows. I even moved the battery to the passenger side so i could use a 1988-89 Trans Am air intake.

Cool truck. What computer do you use to run the engine?

Nice truck!

Is this a TBI or something else? The engine looks very nice.

89s didn't come with a tach dash as far as I know. Did you or a PO add that or did it come that way? I have a 91 tach dash and am curious how much work it will be to swap out the moon gauge dash.

Thanks
Steve

Never came in trucks, mainly Corvette and Camaro.

I'm using one from a 1991 S10 4 Cyl with the original 1987 TA chip. I integrated the wiring harness from both the TA and the Sierra.

It's MPFI. I added the cluster. No tach until 1991, however you got the easy swap cluster as if I recall, the hardest part will be running a wire for the tach, otherwise it's a plug in. Later clusters like mine required a lot of wiring mods and a DRAC module.

How did you get around the VATS? Is that part of the reason why you swapped the steering column?

Someone had already been in that because I never did a thing with it, using the original lock cylinder. I built the column because I'm a masochist and like to build weird things.

All 1/2t pickups should have had the L98 in them from the factory as far as I'm concerned.
