if you promise to return it unharmed when you get replacments, I will loan you a 350 TBI and PCM. U just have to come pull it from my 87 lwb parts truck. I will be needing it eventually so I will one day need it back tho. I know how it is when moneys tight.

[spudz]

BTW, if weather is nice, do you wanna hit the junk yard up this weekend? I wanna snag the grill mounts and about 2 billion other parts.

[spudz]

actually let me run out and check, I bought a pcm and harness for tbi may have a 350 pcm. all u need it the chip.

i wish i didnt prim i eather

i cant cut coils with the 31s on there

yes its my dd

[nbpro]

I don't see anything wrong with it being in primer considering you had different color doors on it and it needed a paint job anyways. Truck is looking good. Front tires will come soon enough. Hard to do anything on a budget like you wanna do.

[87 chevy silverado]

body modes or body parts changed
cowl
passenger door
driver gas door
hood (2x)
rear cab body line

[spudz]

what size front tires do you need? I got a brand new set of tires on my 76 swb parts truck that are going to waste I will make you a good deal on. ALSO, If I get a chance to pull the TB off my 87 parts truck for you to borrow, I will bring it for you along with a good pcm this weekend if your still up for the junk yard... I hope we have good weather.

im wanting more of a stock size tire at least on the front so i can cut a coil and get tha front dropped and stil not have alot of rubbing issues... and yea sure im willing to go to the yard

[oldblue1968chevy]

Sorry to hijack thread..

Hey spudz, ever find that 1953 headlight switch?

Truck will look better when ya get that frontend down. Nice move for 'loaning' needed parts/tires!
