Took another small step on the truck, we've nicknamed "Ethel" and got the head liamps replaced with Silverstars, new headlight buckets, parking lamp assemblies, amber OEM bulbs (1157NA) and a tonneau cover. The bulbs came from Vatozone, the tonneau cover, the headlight buckets and parking light assemblies came from Stylin' Concepts. Take a look, I think it looks TONS better! ![]() Last edited by Matt Mann; 06-02-2008 at 09:58 PM. |

On a truck... http://www.toughcountry.com/photos/d...lbum=14&pos=22 The bumper itself... http://www.toughcountry.com/products...nds/deluxe.php I really like that bumper, and for 1300 bucks, it ain't too spendy (unlike the road armors, sheesh they're high dollar pieces of iron) Pretty soon I'll have some pics up of my truck, when it's all lifted with the wheels and tires. Can't wait!

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
Hey guys.. just got her a couple months ago.. havnt been on her for awhile so i figured now was a good time. Here are some pictures from when i got here from where she sat for over a year and a half.. to current. Have lots of plans for her, so im hopping 6 months from now you wont be able to tell that its the same truck. 90 suburban 4x4 1/2ton.. all stock at the moment.. brand new motor dropped in after i bought here built it in my car port lol wasnt a expected build.. guy i bought the burb from said it was running.. and since he was a friend of family thought he wouldnt screw me... we he did.. it ran after 8 hrs on a battery charging cranking away trying to get it to fire.. then to find out the rear main seal was leaking horrible.New motor is 350 w/TBI intake setup with the orig. 700-R4 tranny. Interior(no pictures up yet) looks awesome. No rips in any seats.. all panels still look great.. dash is PERFECT.. no fading.. no cracking.. windshield is perfect. all but one window(pass side back seat) roll up and down no problem. all powerlocks work.. Put 265s 516 Mud Trac tires on for now. Will have a 4" lift soon and will be putting on 35s. No rust at ALL except for the roof and its just exterior..nothing thru.. just need to sand her down and prime. Paid 750 for her.. not too bad if you ask me. Well here she is.. tell me what u think guys..
When i went and got her: ![]() Old motor... wonder if the guy new he had to change oil? ![]() After a little work: ![]() Finally done.. allmost ready to drop in: ![]() Having some fun: ![]() Not too bad: ![]() Little body damage there: ![]()

That truck is positively bad ass, but some things just don't fit. black paint on a smooth body, looking very cool. wheels and tires, look great with that body. 383 decals work with that body and paint very well I am not a big fan of the rear window mural, I would have gone with a regular smoked window with a slider.. Nothing says 'Whacker' like a police interceptor emblem on a vehicle that was never made for police service. It looks just as dorky on a chevette. Lose it and if you must put an emblem there, how about 'cowl induction' or just '383' ? Also, that Pete logo is lost on the front of that truck... There's nothing else even remotely petebuilt so it really looks out of place... Go with nothing, or put a stepside bed on it, and install stacks... Then that peterbuilt logo might make some sense... That's my 2 cents, it's your truck, do what you will... It's 98 percent there... Just needs tweaking. |

Wow, I had no idea you were so thin skinned... You posted, I gave an opinion... You are welcome to offer a similar honest opinion about my posts. My truck is in here just like yours is. If you like it, that's great! If not, I'm big enough to realize everyone has their own opinion, and take it as it was given. If you're not interested in what people have to say, (or can't handle what you're being told) then don't ask them for it. I certainly didn't mean to offend you. I guess it could've been worse, at least I didn't bash Michigan State.... GO BUCKEYES! ROFLMFAO Last edited by Matt Mann; 06-27-2008 at 11:09 AM. |

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
You have misunderstood me. The "Bailiff, wack his pepe" is from Cheech and Chong's Trippin' in Court. I was just quoting that saying because Matt Mann said "Bailiff". Sorry, I didn't mean to offend Harley1650, I do like the truck, and I do like the skeletons in the back window.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
Chevydog, I understood your bailiff reference. I think I still have that on 8 track.
That other dude knows nothing about me. When he uses words like "whacker" (whatever that is) and "dorky" when talking about something I have spent a lot of cash and have a lot of blood and sweat into its not about being thin skinned. I have built numerous hotrods and would never pick apart someone's ride. I don't expect everyone to have the same taste as I do. To be honest, I would like the administrator to remove the pictures I posted. |

it was a freakin joke! I had no idea you were so sensitive... Did you even READ what i posted? Guess you missed all of the positive things I said at the start. What is this the ladies room, or a truck forum? ![]() Man, If you don't want someone else's opinion, don't ask for it. Go ahead and whine some more to the mods... ![]() You asked a question and I answered honestly... If you had bothered to read my post, I think you might find at least a few things I actually said positive things about... Instead you had to wet your pants over the fact someone din't like that dorky 'peterbuilt' emblem on a gasoline powered truck. Heck, why not put some stacks on it? The whacker comment was over the police interceptor emblem, (police interceptor is a FORD designation by the way, and since the truck was a CHEVY, and had no other 'police' features, I thought it looked out of place.) Again if you don't want someone's honest opinions don't ask for them. It's your truck, I could care less what you do with it, it was a very sharp looking truck, (I believe I actually did say that to you in my original post...) It's just had some things i thought were out of place... And for the record, I never said anything remotely about you until I got tagged by the mods privately over this.... I had no idea you were so sensitive, I guess I'm just lucky I wasn't talking sports with you. That whole Ohio/Michigan thing would've really sent you over the edge. |

hey Mark, Question, I was looking at a 2/4 drop to lower the truck and level it out. Should I still be looking at 16 inch wheels too, or decide on one thing or the other? Also, how hard would it be to recalibrate the speedometer for the change to 16's??? BTW- this weeks' additions included a performance chip, and a locking gas cap. Nothing really exciting to see, so no pics... Thanks again for your help, ![]() ![]() |

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks

You shouldn't have to recalibrate the speedo for anything, unless you go with way undersized tires. I've got my 35's on (woot woot!! Time to take pictures this week! Just gotta fix my speed sensor, one of the wires got hard and broke. Bah) Otherwise, my speedos only off by like 5 mph. Not sure on the speed sensor on the 700R4's. They're on the tailhousing of the t-case on the 4L60's, and I know it controls a lot of functions, such as the speedometer, shiftpoints and actual shifting of 3rd and overdrive, etc. 700R4's I'm not sure how they work precisely, but like on mine, I can use a programmer to recallibrate the speed change for larger gears and tires. I think the 16" wheels, by the way, would be good. There's a lot of different ones that would look good. One thing you can do if you're very picky like me, is take a side image of your truck, find the right angle, and put it on your computer. Then find an image of a wheel you may like, copy and paste it into your truck's image, out of the way, and cut around the wheel and paste it over your wheels, reducing the size so it's right, etc. I used MS Paint. Hah. Anyways, check out Eagle Alloy wheels http://aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_wheels.cfm?id=263# (that's what I went with, the 1372's, chrome with black rim) American Racing etc. Truck Addons.com is a good site for truck accesories, lot of good stuff on there, lots of it. Any other questions, just ask bud.

Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks
New guy here. This is my 93:
164k+ miles, 350/4L60E (I think? Anybody know for sure what the last year for 700R4 was?) -- drivetrain all stock, except for tbi spacer and possibly a computer chip (haven't pulled the glovebox to see) 18" eagle alloys, previous owner pulled out one of the leaves to even the ride height out -- wife thinks it's too bouncy, but I like the stance Summit stock size drilled/slotted rotors up front, rear is all factory -- 3.08 open diff with drums clean original interior with pioneer head unit and RF amp and subs...with ipod hookup in the dash Needless to say, I've got plans...like vortec heads, multi-point efi, posi rear with disc brakes...just need a little time and cash! ![]()

The Vortec heads and multi point injection would be a good idea, and cheap if you just ripped upper end stuff off a 96-up Vortec with the computer and wire stuff. Nice truck, now I gotta get pics of my truck up after the lift.
